It was emphasized much throughout the evening that it’s just a football game and to remember the important things in life.
In an evening filled with lots of emotion, New Albany took the field, arm-in-arm, and maintained that unity throughout its 28-21 win over Ripley on Friday night.
For the players, it was not only about earning a fourth straight win over their rival, but also for playing for their coach and the memory of his late wife.
