WHAT THEY SAID
Shawn Byrdsong -
"That was a Rea critical play. It they hadn't scored on that play it would have been 7-3 at the half. Instead it was 14-3, and they had the momentum going in. It didn't break out backs. We came back a lot this season, and we kept saying remember John Tyler and remember Lufkin and all those hard games. We put our faith in God, but we fell short. They (Katy) just played a great game."

"I expected them to play smash mouth football, but they executed their offensive game plan good. They came out and took a whole bunch of time off the clock, and it just took us out of our game."

Leon Bell -
"They pounded on us early, but we were used to that. We just weren't able to overcome the big letdown after the pass. We got down, and it dragged on into the fourth quarter. I thought we had put it behind us at the half. I still thought we had a chance, but we didn't get it done."

Lee Jackson -
"We had an outstanding year as a team and coming closer together as a family. That's really what I'll remember about this team. I really won't remember this game, I'll just remember this team I was on."

Fred Talley -
"Our defense, we rely on them, because defense wins championships. They (Katy) rattled our defense a little bit, but they left it on the field."

Robert Bero -
"This team has been very close and it's been family all year long. They're very strong spiritually and we'll overcome this."

"We moved the ball early in the first half, we felt good going in at halftime. When you don't get possessions, then you start doing some things probably out of character. I give credit to Katy, they played an outstanding football game."

Jay Hurst -
"I felt good about our offense at halftime. Every time we did get it, we did run it pretty good. In the second half, they (Katy) just came out and played better than we did."
