They played very tough today against a formidable opponent. To beat a team like Huron Heights, you can’t afford to make many mistakes. We had a couple costly turnovers which are uncharacteristic for us. Overall, it was an incredibly successful season. This is the first Korah Team to have a 10 win season. We are very proud of our Team and especially the 5th year players…their legacy will live on in the Korah Football Program.”
