The game could have gone either way. It was a fantastic game to be a part of. Coffeyville has a great team and I tip my cap to them.”

“It’s never easy when the season ends,” Jackson added. “We have had one heck of a run. We showed that we belonged. It was an incredible game, unfortunately someone had to lose. I’m so proud of my sophomore group. They went 52-6 in their two-year career with two trips to Hutch. They have etched their names in NOC history.”
