After the game I was able to talk to head coach Derrin Lamker, Tim Searcy, and DJ Hebert. Derrin Lamker thought that his kids came out sluggish. Now that game is over with and they have to focus on Wayzata who they will play in the championship game of the region. His kids have a good work ethic and have to have a good week in practice and have to come out to fight the whole game.

Tim Searcy talked about his touchdown. He said he tip towed down the sideline and he always knew where the out of bounds line was. He didn't know at first if he was in or not. The game plan was to come in and run the ball. He thought that all 11 guys on both sides of the ball came out and played hard and played with a lot of heart though out the whole game. Now they have to prepare hard for a tough Wayzata team who is a two time champion

DJ Hebert thought that this was just like any other game. It was a tale of two halves. The team didn't come out to play and had a bad start. He liked the ending as this team has had some great comebacks all year long. His team knows how to make big plays down the stretch. He also thinks that Osseo has to come out strong against Wayzata in the region championship game.
