The 10-7 victory was not only Surry Central’s first of the season, but served as the first varsity win for most of the team. “So, it was good to see the guys doing a little bit of hitting and getting downhill to make some plays.” I thought as the game went on that defensively as the game went along we got more physical, which is something that we have been talking about and lacking. And we didn’t play great tonight offensively, but man defensively we did really good.

“When you start 0-3, you don’t want to tell the kids but you as a coach feel a little bit of pressure.

“I’m feeling a little bit of relief to be honest with you,” said Central coach Monty Southern.
