Head coach Keith Herring said the bad thing about a win is you they only get to enjoy it for a short wile, then they have to start of the next game.

"They’re a good team," Hearring said of who will play against the Eagles at Brentwood next Friday night.

"They’re going to be bigger than us, which we know everybody is going to be bigger than us, but they’re real big, so we’re going to have to work our tail off, and the kids know that."
