A lot of mistakes were made by the UG offense, however, the defense held strong and held them out of the end zone every possession. Audie Murphy battled hard by making big plays on special teams and taking back a pick 6 to allow them to stay in the game.
Every time Audie Murphy scored, the Grizzlies would respond. Big plays of the night included Derrick Flowers taking a run play 45 yards for a touchdown, Chris Williams took a screen pass 50 yards for a touchdown, and Jordan Rosario punched in a goal line touchdown. Some outstanding defensive players include Demarkous Grandberry with an Interception, Jordan Rosario with multiple sacks and TFLs, Tristan Legrand with some big hits, and Nicholas Tigue with outstanding coverage and pass breakups. At the end of the game, the Grizzlies edged out a 21-20 WIN!
Coach Tomgenovich and Coach Sloan are very proud of the boys for their resilience and fight. We are looking forward to our next matchup on Tuesday against Live Oak Ridge Middle School.
Go Grizzlies!

Fundamentally, we struggled on both sides of the ball. Tackling and ball security were two areas that hurt us throughout the game, and those are areas we will attack immediately in practice.
There were still some bright spots. Jarron Tillis, Ayden Cornelius, and Ayden Callands gave us some explosive plays in the running game and continued to show their ability to make plays with the football. Mason Belcher provided a spark in the second half with some timely catches and strong yards after the catch. Defensively, Ayden Cornelius created a momentum play with a strip fumble.
The result was disappointing, but this is where character is built. Championship teams are not defined by one difficult night. They are defined by how they respond when things don't go their way.
We have work to do. We have fundamentals to sharpen, confidence to rebuild, and standards to reinforce. But we will not allow one game to define this team.
We will learn from it. We will work through it. We will come back more focused.
Keep building, Grizzlies.
~Coach Kirby
