“We’re just not playing good football, that’s the reality,” said Rossview head coach Stratie Young. “We can give all the excuses in the world, but at some point, we need to make a change. It’s frustrating because we know we have the pieces to turn it around. There are some things that went well, but we have to be more consistent, resilient, and good things will come.”
