“Great team win,” Whitley County coach Matt Rhymer said. “ It’s awesome to see these guys compete every week. Our Offensive line blocked great and backs did a great job finding the holes.

“Defensively, we played hard and made a lot of big plays,” he added. “We still have a lot of areas to improve on but I’m proud of our team and the effort they play with.”
