More Jack Chapman on Wikipedia.We were down two points at the half and if you want to call it battling adversity, call it that because that's what we were able to do. Our defense was fantastic.
It just builds on our confidence. It tells me what I wanted to know: That our team has a lot of heart. We made mistakes . . . and we still beat a quality program.
That was one of the first things I looked at, ... We're the 78th team in Class 6A and Cypress Bay is the largest. We get to go against them, and they're one of the teams to beat.
We were a little sloppy, but we'll take it.
