"Westbrook has a good, solid team," Cold Springs coach Wesley McSwain said. "I'm proud of my boys for the way they came out and fought. They made the other team play their tails off to beat us. These kids are pretty special. They have done things this year that a lot of people didn't think they could do. They bought in this season, became a family, and set the bar high for years to come. Moving forward, I want the kids that are returning and the new faces to have the same mindset this team had — hard work, determination and never quit until the last out is called."
