Coach Kyle Buffington made the following remarks about the game, "This was a fun game to finish off the season. Goodland had some talented kids that made a couple big plays to get on the board but otherwise we dominated this ball game. We knew going into this game we could either come out of it with a winning season or a losing season and we played our best game of the year to come out on top. I truly admire the determination of this group as a whole. They did everything they were asked to do all season long and became better competitors as a result. The future of Saint Francis Indian Football looks very bright if these young men continue to put in the time, the heart, and the work it takes to become successful."
