Head Coach Jamie Miller said there were several things his team could have done throughout the game to keep it from coming down to the last play.

“We had some oppertunitys to make some plays and change the outcome of the game and we didn’t finish those plays,” Miller said. “Sometimes when you are on the road and the officiating is less than perfered, then you have to make some plays. They (Webster County) made some plays. It’s one of those things were we have to capitialize on their errors and we didn’t.”

On defense, Richard Stevens had six tackles, as did Devon Redman. Coach Miller said others players on the team recorded five tackles each.

“We had some tough call that didn’t go ourway, but it shouldn’t be so close it’s left in the hands of the official.”

Clinton County will be back in action this Friday night at Bulldog Field as Caverna comes into town.

Friday night will also be Homecoming Night for Clinton County with those festivities begining before the 7 p.m. kickoff.

“They got a couple of good athletes and if we can keep them from making the big play then we will be ok,” Miller said. “
