Editor's note: Titan football head coach Jeff Nelson submitted his thoughts and perceptions of the December 3 championship game in the Tacoma Dome. See last week's paper for the game coverage article. Overall, we got off to a really poor start. I think some our players were a little overwhelmed by playing in the Tacoma Dome and playing for a state championship. Throughout most of the first quarter and early into the second we made too many mental and physical mistakes to compete with a quality team like Neah Bay. Eventually,...
