COACH BARRY NORTON'S COMMENTS: "I thought our special teams showed up again against Camden Fairview. I think we won that part of the game for sure. That part of our game is something we are proud of because we work on it so much. Our kids have worked hard at it, and I'm really proud of what they are doing out there.

"We have got to clean up these penalties. I have been saying that for a while now, and I don't know what I have to do to get some of these fixed. We played a lot of the first half behind the chains. It's hard to be productive that way, but we will go back and look at the tape to see what we have to do to fix it. We have to understand that these penalties are going to get us at some point if we are not careful. We have to find a way to fix it."
