Post Game
Boll Weevil Head Coach Hud Jackson had this to say after the game: “Penalties killed us. We can’t win when we have that many. Players played hard but we didn’t take advantage of opportunities that could have been game changers in all three phases. We will bounce back. This team never shuts it down in games. Preparation starts now for Northwest Oklahoma. We will fix problems and move forward! Eat’em Up!”
