Quotable:
Maranatha coach, Rand Holdren: “Watching the film, it was clearly our first competition. We stayed out of the penalty column for the most part, but we have some work to do in order to make this thing gel. There were a lot of plays in all phases that were close to being great. AJ Campana and Jake Neely really stood out tonight, while Matthew Rhee anchored the O-line with Andrew Massino battling all night.”
