Avante Taylor said, “I felt like my performance wasn’t very good at all. I am very capable of getting in the back multiple times and getting to the quarterback. I guess I’m just being too aggressive. Next game I need to be more disciplined.

The next game is against the Valley Lutheran Chargers at Valley Lutheran Sept. 27.
