COACH GERRY STANFORD'S COMMENTS: "Mount Pleasant was probably our toughest opponent up to this point. We played as physical, on both sides, as we have all year long; that was a big part of the game. It was part of our game plan to play physical and fast all night, and let the rest fall to the side.
"We were able to produce at key moments on offense and defense. We ran the ball effectively and won the battle up front, on both sides. That was key for us."
