Coach Mantooth stated: “I've challenged this group all year about energy and determination. I told them on Tuesday and Thursday that it's going to take every single one of us to bring those two things from start to finish. I tip my hat to the 27 kids in that dugout. They bought into each other and every single one of them had the same mindset. So, at the end of the day, they deserve all the credit.
We did have some very good individual performances. However, this group knows we are not a team out for individual awards. We are about Squad 44. We represent all of Adair Co."
