They Said It: It was a classic physical breakdown. Our kids never back down and fought back the entire game. The game was very intense but in the end they had the weapons needed to get the win. But we never quit and I am just as proud of our kids in this defeat as would be in any victory. Wortham Head Coach Jerry Young
