"We were beaten in every facet of the game, but it begins with me. The good thing is that this wasn't the end of the year and that we get to go back in, see what we need to correct, and still have more games left to play.

Campbellsville is the number 3 team in the country for a reason. If we learn from this game, then tonight was worth it."
