QUOTES FROM COACH KEYSER
"Today was one of those days where we had a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly. The intent is great but we definitely are a work in progress. As long as we keep the mental grind alive like we have been doing, then we will be a competitive squad by the time our season starts in January."
