"On their first touchdown, we had four defensive players who could have tackled the ball carrier but none of them wrapped their arms around him. We just let him go. And their sec- ond and third touchdowns were a result of our fumbles. "But our kids showed a lot of character,” he added. "We went in at halftime down 28-8 and a lot of teams I've had experience with in the past would have folded right then. But our kids were very deter- mined and came back and made a game out of it. The time just ran out on us. "They were a good football team, one of the best we've All Stars. All Teams. All Action. All Season.

"We knew that going in. They had good players and were well coached and they took advantage of our mistakes. I guess that's what it's all about. "But we had an excellent season. We started slow with two straight losses in non-conference play but then came back and won five straight before losing to East Rutherford.

They're a very good football team and they knew they were and, basically, the just took a! oi their frustrations out on us.” Hicks said the loss was the worst he's suffered in over 20 years of high school coaching. "It was a de-moralizing game,” he said. "We're all disappointed in the way things turned out and all of us, coaches and players alike, have to bear the responsibility. But we've got to put everything back in perspective. "We achieved two of the three goals we set before the season,” he went on. "We wanted to have a winning season and make the play- offs. The only goal we didn't achieve was winning the confer- ence. So we just need to put this disaster behind us and get our mind back on playing football and play- ing it as well as we possibly can. "The bottom line about Friday's game," he continued, "was that the way East Rutherford played it would have been hard for any team in the state to beat them. I wish we'd played better and made it a better game, but even if we had played as well as we could it would have been hard to beat them. They played as well as anybody I've seen in a long time."
