“It got away from us in the third quarter and that was us being young and inexperienced and losing control of who we are and what we do. We’ve been playing super-hard and I’m super proud of them because we lost a lot from last year and we’ve come a long way. These guys have been giving us great effort all season.”— Coach Derrick Partee, Smith
