“We played great defense and our special teams were good. Offensively, we struggled some, but Loris had a lot to do with that. They’ve got some grown men on that defensive front. We’ve struggled with them a little bit, but, like I said, they had a lot to do with it. Overall, I was definitely real pleased with our defense and special teams.” - Georgetown coach Ken Cribb
“We’ve got a chance. That’s all you can ask for. We’re going to see where we stand. We’re going to lace them up, show up and see where we stand at the end of the night.” - Cribb

They said it
“We have to evolve now. The defense played their butts off tonight. They did a great job. It was a lot of bend-don’t-break stuff tonight. They even had a goal-line stand that was huge for us. We’ve got to do a job now as a team where we see we’ve got the lead or we’re within a score, what can we do now to take the next step? … There’s just little things now that we have to, as a team, [get past] that mental block we’ve talked about to be able to take that next step. And that’s something that we’ll work on.” - Waccamaw coach Shane Fidler
“This week we’ve got to, offensively, we’ve got to find a way to take the next step. Last week, we were very big-play oriented. We were able to get it to Tyree Funnye and throw it around. This week, they game planned us to try to take those guys out the game; we were still able to make some plays. But we’ve got to find a way to get other guys involved to make a big play.” - Fidler
“Defensively, we’ve got to ride this momentum. They played well tonight. They gave up a late score to make it 22, but they played really well. They got some key stops, they made some key plays and forced a couple turnovers. So we’ve just got to find a way as a team to get past the mental block and find a way to win.” - Fidler

“We played really well in the first half. That’s probably the first time we haven’t had a running clock against Dillon since I’ve been here. …And we’ve just got to kind of build on it and hopefully have some success these next two weeks and try to get in the playoffs.” - Aynor coach Jody Jenerette
“First half they started reading the option a little more – zone read stuff – and the quarterback got loose. And they made an adjustment on defense and, you know, we just weren’t able to push them the way we were able to push them in the first half. But, you know, when you play Dillon things like that are going to happen.” - Jenerette
