Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
"My goal for the boys for today was to take a step forward and continue to build momentum. They did that. We were punched in the mouth early today and when they saw blood, they responded with grit and perseverance. I'm very proud of these boys and can't wait to compete with them again! Hail Southern!!"
