Coach Mitch Roberts’ Comments

“It was a tough first game on the road for our team. We hgave up too many big plays and failed to execute at crucial times in the game. I am proud of our effort and poise when facing adversity. The injuries to our team have caused some of the younger players to step up and they have done a great job filling those roles.

We will clean some things up this week in practice and get ready for district play as we take on Diller-Odell on Friday (Sept 22).” The district opener kicks off at 7 p.m. at Odell. The Griffins are 3-0 on the season. Diller-Odell has defeated McCool Junction 40-15; Superior 51-16 and Thayer Central 38
