Our defense really stepped up late in the game. Buckeye Local didn't give up. They kept coming after us. But our kids handled everything they threw at us tonight.

This win is huge for us. I can't even begin to tell you how big it is. Our kids work hard every week, but they don't always get see a win for it. Nothing is better than seeing hard work pay off and these kids deserve to experience that.

Our defense put us in some great situations. They've done that all year.

Mike has done a great job for us this year on defense. He creates a lot of pressure for the opposition.

That's a big battle for us. This is one of those things, as a defensive line, and as a defense that wants to get itself over the hump, you look for games like this ... You've got a lot to prove.

Our defense played extremely well. This was a big win for us, especially after a tough loss last week to Baraga.
