Coach Dylan Flannery said he was shocked by the score but at the same time, he wasn’t shocked by the outcome.

“Our guys have a lot of room to grow as young men. Focus, effort, discipline, respect throughout the week,” Flannery said. “We got all the potential in the world if we can tighten this up, but if they come back with the same attitude, focus, same work ethic, same attendance, if it’s that same old song, yeah, I wouldn’t be shocked if this turns ugly.”

The game didn't start well for the Brahmas. A fumble that was recovered by the Wildcats led to Justice Powers scoring first. Pierce responded immediately through Brandon Brock, who scored two touchdowns against the Wildcats.

“I tried to do what I have to do to make my team win,” Brock said. “You won’t see this again. This is our worst game, but we will bounce back.”

It turned into a back-and-forth between the teams before West LA took a 24-14 lead heading into the second quarter. “We played well in the first, but at the end of the day you got to play well in all four quarters.
