They said it

“I just thought we came off the ball and blocked real well early, and we caused some good turnovers on defense that got us the ball back a lot. You know, I thought we played a really clean game and I was happy with the final outcome.” - Aynor coach Jody Jenerette

“Everything, brother. We’re in region play now. We’ve got to turn it up a notch, we’ve got to be focused in practice [and] we’ve got to be prepared to have a great game. They beat us pretty bad last year and I think we’ve got a pretty bad taste in our mouth. So we’ve got to step up this week and see if we’re going to turn the corner or not.” - Jenerette
