Post match comments by Jackets head coach Craig Jean, "Our energy wasn't good to start the game. It took about 20 minutes for us to get going. We were rattled early, but we finally settled down and put the game away late in the 1st half. We are going to have to play a lot better next week vs Bunn at RRHS on Monday (3rd place in conf with 1 loss)and at Granville Central on Wednesday (tied with us for 1st with no losses). I was glad to see the starters finish the 1st half and start 2nd half playing pretty good. I look forward to seeing how we compete next week. "
