We caught up with Head Coach Vance Jones, after the game.
"This is only going to help us get better. Hopefully, with a little luck and no injuries, next year, we'll have a chance to get back. That's the way it goes, just try and make it back, next year. We have, about 400 people the whole town. They charted four busses. I'll tell ya, there probably wasn't 10 people, in Balmorhea, today. That's awesome and, in small schools especially, the community revolves around the school. Our town has been so supportive, it's, you know, it's hard to describe," Jones commented.
