Coach's Comments:
Coach Damon Amey was very relieved to pick up this important conference road victory along with the additional three points. Kellogg made adjustments from the first time we played, and their intensity and skillful play gave us all we could handle today. We will regroup and get ready for another tough game against Jackson on Wednesday.

Adjustments for the next Game:
Delta will work on offensive creativity to breakdown a centrally compressed defense. We will continue to focus on a controlled combination game in the final attacking third of the field. The Pioneers will be hosting Jackson CC on Wednesday the 11th. The Pioneers currently have a #1 National ranking.
