COACH BARRY NORTON'S COMMENTS: "(Nettleton) was a really big and physical team. When you go into a game like that and you're not careful, you get away from things, but you have to be the aggressor and be more tough than they are. I thought our guys handled them pretty well. Defensively, we were just too quick for them; they had a couple of plays, but that was it.

"We went into this ballgame knowing if we didn't do anything wrong, they were going to have a hard time scoring points. We were really conservative and patient with what we were doing, exactly like we set out during our meetings throughout the week.

"We are really proud of the kids for coming out here and doing what the did, and also proud of the coaching staff for preparing them for this game. Now we have to get ready for the next one."
