COACH GERRY STANFORD'S COMMENTS: "You live and die by your fronts - your offensive line and your defensive line. That's what football is at the 5A and 6A level, and at this level of play you've got to have good lines with guys who will be physical and give you everything they've got. We feel good about how our fronts performed."
