Electra stunned Holliday, 19-13, in double overtime behind an outstanding defensive effort. I was really proud of our kids. We played a lot more emotional, and played real solid, smart defense. When the Tigers are playing well, you can count on seeing them play good team defense. It would be na ve to think that the events of the past week in Holliday, losing a coach to resignation, didn't drain their emotions somewhat even before the opening kickoff.
Emotions are a real factor in high school football.
They sometimes can fuel a victory, but they are also a double-edged sword. But don't let that take away from Electra's victory. Holliday has a class organization, and they have a good football team. It was a good, clean football game. Trey Goodwin led the defensive charge with 16 tackles and a sack.
