After the game I was able to get Central head coach Scott Howell's thoughts. He thought his team was young and his defense stepped up their game and was able to execute on the defensive end. This was a rival game between these two schools. So he was pleased with outcome. A few areas that concerned him was the fumbles that his team committed and the mental mistakes his team made. Otherwise he was happy with his team’s performance on the field.
