After the long Labor Day Weekend, La Jolla coach Matt Morrison had some thoughts on his football team's narrow 24-21 loss to Hilltop, in which the Vikings led at one point, 21-7.
"Friday was quite the roller coaster ride," said Morrison, after coaching in his first Blastoff and in the first game on the new field. "It was an exciting night for the entire community to be in the new stadium.
"The kids were pumped, and I thought we had a great crowd. It is awesome to see so many alumni come back as well. That is the kind of environment we want to have at each of our home games."
Specifically on his team's performance, coming one week after a big win over Montgomery, the first-year coach said, "We played well in spurts, but had difficulty sustaining it and we were ultimately far too inconsistent in all three phases.
"You have to give Hilltop credit for capitalizing on our mistakes. Bottom line is that when you are as careless with the ball as we were Friday and tackle as poorly as we did, you're going to have a hard time beating any quality opponent."
