"The coach said 'these guys played their hearts out. We trained really hard for this game. We were quicker and stronger than they were and made more conversions. That game-winning touchdown with just 10 seconds left on the clock gave us more points than they had. It was a tough game and they played well, but we beat them in the end. We believers believe Smith will bring us to even more unbelievable heights next year.'"
