Coach Burrus Quotes: “What a game to be part of. So proud of the kids. Everyone turned it up to bring home the championship. I thought everyone that came to support us had an impact on the game. It was fun to win but a very proud moment. Thanks to every fan who came out to support us. I told the team when we were preparing to leave to go to the game that our job is to bring the community, together! I believe we did that. Every player contributed. Every fan did too.”
