COACH KELLEY THOUGHTS
"I am proud of our guys for continuing to fight hard. We got the ball in the 2^nd half down three scores and promptly took it down and score to make it a 35-21 game. Then our defense stepped up and made a stop and we had a chance. They forced a fumble and an interception which allowed the game to get away from us. We fought hard and that's something that will carry us into these last four games. We have eight seniors and that group was 55 when they came to PC. Today our team committed to playing with all they have for those guys to finish their careers on a high note at PC and for a coach that's extremely satisfying."
