Coach quote: “In this league you need to run the ball to win and sometimes we did a good job and sometimes we didn’t,” said Glenwood coach Jason Gibson after the game.
“Burnett ran hard, Cameron O’Neill in my opinion is the best receiver in the region and our young guys came in at the end of the game and picked up first downs and ran out the clock,”
“If you had told me before the season that we would be 4-1 in this conference before the season started, I’m not sure I would have believed that.” He added.
Player quote: “I had to step up and face the challenge that my coach gave me. I ran the ball hard and blocked for my teammates and everyone contributed,” said John Burnett after the game.
