Another win for the Panthers: next week Parma could already clinch a play-off berth

HC Andrew Papoccia: "We got off with a great start, driving down the field, but unfortunately threw an interception inside their 10 yard line for a touchdown. However we responded with a touchdown to tie the game at 7 to 7. We got another touchdown with a long drive and took the lead 14 to 7. Then we gave up another big play on defense and they tied the game at 14 to 14.
In the second quarter we finally got some stops in defense and put up a couple more of touchdowns to go up 28 to 14 at the half time.
I was very pleased to be up by 14, but I tought we very a little sloppy still and I challenged the guys to play a cleaner football in the second half.
We came out in the third quarter and did that: we were able to move the ball offensively and also got some stops defensively. We got up 42 to 20 going in the fourth quarter. Then we gave up another one late, for the 42 to 26. However we continued to move the ball offensively and make key stops defensively.
We missed some guys, but I was pleased we have new guys stepping in to help us out this week. I'm looking for another strong win next week against Rome".

WR Craig McIntyre: "Today the Panthers were a little bit rusty because we haven't played for a month. But after the first quarter we came together as a team and we won this game".

RB/LB Greg Hay: "This was a very important game due to the fact that other teams lost and we had to come back out and win this game to go 4-0, so that we can getting to the playoff this year and win the championship. This was a very huge game to keep us undefeated".
