"What a great way to end our season in the "Textile Bowl" and send our seniors out with not only a victory, but one last awesome memory shared with all of their teammates. Not only was it great for each of our seniors to score TD's in their final game, but it was equally as great to see them on the sidelines cheering for all of their younger teammates. Special seasons like this one are only created when the players develop an incredible bond as a team. Through hard work, common goals and a love for one another, these guys made Friday nights magical for the coaches and the fans!"
