Thoughts after the fact. I am very proud of the effort and performance by Erwin last night. When I saw the Mt. Paran kids for the first time I was a little taken back. They were huge, and the kids could move at that size. Those kids weren't just cement blocks stuck in the ground, but very agile for offensive and defensive lineman. Our kids never blinked though, and our offensive skill guys looked great. Especially when you look at the opponent. Damien was on point from the get go, but we just couldn't handle their size for the whole game and at the end we just didn't have any answers for them defensively. Proud of the effort defensively as those kids never quit against their imposing style of play.
Moving forward obviously have to hope Damien is ok. Scary moment, but if he's not we will have to find another answer. I do think we have a great staff and while it may not be perfect we will find a way to put points on the board.
Defensively I think we are fine. We shouldn't see another team that imposing all year. We have some kids that can move on that side of the ball and we aren't tiny up front. So I think the defense will be fine moving forward and this game should help us against run heavy opponents in the future.
