“ACH was more physical and they executed much better. We were never able to stop them from scoring. They scored a TD on every possession of the game” said coach Jeff Nelson. “This week we play Cusick, we played them in week three and won, but Cusick is much improved.” The game is at 7 p.m. this Friday, November 6, in Odessa.
