" We were able to hang with them for about a half, but their size eventually became too much for us. We couldn't move the ball at all offensively, their defensive line controlled the line of scrimmage from the start. Johnson-Brock is one of the best teams we've seen over the years, they should have a very successful season. There's no shame in losing to a team like that. We will regroup and get back to work in practice, as we know we have alot of season left to play."

Sterling's next contest is Friday, Sept 11th vs. Dorchester at home. Game time is set for 7:00 pm.
