"The kids played a great game," acknowledged Barnesville Head Coach Bryan Strand.  "We gotup on them and stunned them a bit.  I felt they got tired during the game and we didn't get as tired.  They seemed to have real issues finding the ball.  We know Caledonia is the real deal.  They are very aggressive and quick and have another great quarterback.  They are very well coached.  We will have to sustain drives and the defense will have to be as big as they were this last game.  We need to keep the score down to give us a chance.  I am very proud of the boys and the coaches for getting to this point.  Everyone has worked extremely hard and put in countless hours to be here.  We need a great week of prep and we will be ready come Friday."
