"This has been such a memorable season and we hope we still have a chance to keep fighting because this program still has so much to give. This was the type of game a championship should look like, so I have to give a huge congratulations and job well done to West Florida as well. I really don't have much else to say other than I am proud and honored to be a part of this. Thanks to the entire community of Livingston for the support. This program and place are truly special."
