Post match comments by Jackets head coach Craig Jean, "This is a talented group of guys that are playing and working very hard together to achieve our goals. I could tell in the pregame warm ups that we were going to be good in the attacking third tonight. We had some spectacular finishes, made good decisions, and jumped on them quick and never let our foot off the gas until the game was out of reach. There is always room for improvement though. We have got to do a better job of not fouling in the defensive third. It put AJ in another tough situation late in the game, which took away our chance for a shutout, which is something our defenders have been taking a lot of pride in. Overall, it was a great night for the Jackets. We look forward to conference play tomorrow at South Granville. I want to make sure we give a big thank you to Randy Wrenn and RRspin for the only coverage of RRHS soccer games for the past 2 years. It is very appreciated. Our guys have worked very hard for the success they are having and it is nice to see them get the credit they deserve."

The Jackets next scheduled match is Wednesday September 6th away against South Granville.
