“After this season we will be losing five seniors, but still have 10 returning players.  Overall, although the record didn’t show it, we had a good year. We finished with a 6-13 record. This team has been fun to coach and the girls have worked really hard.”

A word from head coach Mac Childress: 

“We played tough football for the first two quarters and we were down 13-7 at the half. We had the game within striking distance, but a costly turnover proved too much to overcome. As we get more experience, our players will learn to finish drives and close out games with more efficiency. We have improved a great deal since last season, and our staff is excited to put in the work with our players this offseason.”
