Coach Jeff Beims made the following comments on the game, "It is always good to get out of the gate with a win. It boosts the boys confidence, and allows them to get a taste for winning. Even though it was Colby’s 7th grade team, they had some good players. I thought we were aggressive defensively, and played smart, relatively mistake free on offense. We have a long way to go though, before any of us should be satisfied, and the competition will certainly get tougher."
The young Indians will host Rawlins County on Greene Field on Thursday, September 8th, at 5:30 PM.
