QUOTABLE
Head Coach Jeff Gross
"We play in a hard league with good programs. I am proud of our fight in both games this weekend. But our players are learning the hard way that more is required of them individually and within their team. The fight is there, the quality has to be consistently higher to gain results in this league. We are looking forward to the challenges ahead of us. Roll Humps!"
