Sights, sounds, postgame interviews from West Charlotte at Chambers Friday

The run game was on fire in the second half and then close yards. That was working. Did you just keep going with that? How do you like the pass? In the playoffs? Run is like, you gotta be able to run the ball. It's cold outside. Not a lot of guys want to get hit with a helmet in their hands or they don't want to get their hands tangled up. It's real cold outside, so the knees hurt way more. So a lot of guys don't do that. And I was like, we more physical. So I was like, coach, let's run it. You guys had the bye week, right? Yes, sir. So it was a lot of emotions. And we had came off a loss, so we had a lot of energy built up. So we came out there more emotional and not being disciplined with our job. Yeah. What do you say to the guy? I know you said a little bit, but. When you go down 13-0, you haven't been in that spot a lot. I went in there, and I was like, do I see it in their eyes? I was like, do I see the win in my eyes in their eyes? Look at that defense. Put some more points up, and we got you. And I took my senior to the side and told him, hey What do you want to go out like? Do you want to go out with a team we lost to? And I was like, or do you want to ring? I was like, let's step it up and talk to the younger guys. Let's get this ball rolling. We'll figure out soon. We'll figure it out. What do you have to say about getting the W? When you have an ugly win like this, especially in the playoffs, It's always great. It wasn't pretty at all. Know we was down almost the whole game, Made some plays in the second half. Made some adjustments at halftime. Came away with the win, man. That's a darn good football team over there, man. Young team. They took us to the wire, man. So they definitely gonna be very good. Ah, okay. It's all time. A week off, and then you come out and go down 13-0 right away. How do you handle that as it's the end? Oh man, you got to just try to get the guys going. You know, I never panicked as a coach. I just told the guys, listen, we've got to get ourselves going. I don't know what it's gonna take, but we've got to get ourselves going. So we started running the ball, you know, started imposing our will, and it came out victorious. I was gonna say that. I think it was over 250 yards rushing. Is it basically if they can't stop it, keep going? Yes, that's what we have to tell you, man. I told the guys at halftime, listen, the game's not pretty, but at the same time, we're going to get the ball out of the halftime. We're going to go score. We did that. Our defense is going to make a couple plays. They did that. You know, clean it up. Oh man, you got to get back to the drawing board. You have a short week to get ready to play a team that already beat us in Malacrete. So they beat us for the conference. So we got a chance to get our face back and see where it goes from there. I appreciate it. Yeah, good luck.
