Coach’s Quote: We are back in the Regional Final again this year facing Detroit Southeastern. They are a big, physical team upfront with a dynamic QB who can throw it and run it. He has several weapons on the outside and in the backfield along with him. Like last week, we need to limit explosive plays and rally to the ball defensively. On offense, we need to pick our spots and take what they give us.
GO RAMS!!!!!
