“Tonight was senior night for our lone senior Chris Vinson,” commented Brandon-Evansville Head Coach Tim Pattrin.  “The team stepped up and gave him a night to remember.  Hats off to our line for how they played tonight.  The opened up holes for our backs who ran hard all night and gave Keagan time to throw the ball.  The defense bent but didn't break and did a great job against a very explosive offense.  Total team win!”
