I’m no Dutch Fork fan nor am I a Gaffney fan. I just don’t want to hear any excuses about how the refs cheated or the coach called the wrong plays. (Mainly from Gaffney they are known for bellyaching in defeat.
Don’t think anyone or anybody will feel sympathetic towards you. Gaffney has beat up just about every team in the state at some time or another.
Don’t say you look a little down because Gaffney is never down. You are the Gaffney Indians 17 time State champions. Go tell your players this.
You wanted to play a good team- Dutch Fork is a good team. You wanted to play somebody formidable outside your region- Dutch Fork is a formidable opponent outside your region. You wanted to play somebody ranked nationally- Dutch Fork is ranked nationally. You wanted to play a state champion- Dutch Fork is a state champion. You wanted state and national exposure- you getting that exposure. Now coach go fire up them Indians and play
ball.
