In the post-game press conference, Head coach Drew Smith gave credit to their opponent, giving them the benefit of the doubt and touches on his input for the upcoming week.
“I think those guys have made steady improvements. I think coach (Nick) Quinn has done a really good job. They’re smart, they’re tough. I thought they played well this game. You know we started off our season strong with two straight wins and now we gained our second loss. I think my guys have a lot of work to do, but I have full trust in them that we will bounce back and be ready to compete next week”.
With the loss, The Mounties drop to a 2-2 record, while the Valley Bees improve theirs to a 3-1. The Mounties in Week 5 play the Omaha cobs and are projected to win 123.84 to 111.16. If the Mounties can’t bounce back from their last two games, then it may be time to start questioning their line up.
