Head Coach Darnell Haney

• "I'm proud of my team for getting to this point. I think we've been through some adversity this year, just like every team has been through adversity, but we've been through some adversity of our own, and we were able to get here to this point. That's a great team we just played out there. We really couldn't get into anything going on the offensive end. And then defensively, we had some mishaps. But I'm just proud of my team for their fight and their grit at the end of the season."
