The huge lead gave the Saints plenty of breathing room as they went into the second half of the football game, Saints Head Coach Will Gandy decided to save his star players for next week’s game against Hueytown.

Though the Saints pulled off a victory on Friday, Gandy said the Saints still have much work to do before next week’s match-up, and unfortunately, not much time to do it.

“It’s always good to get that win but we’ve got some work to do,” said Gandy. “We’ve got to get ready for Hueytown next week, it’s going to be a big game for us. Defensively, we’ve got to come in with the mindset to get better. Offensively, we’ve got to put up some more points.”

Gandy called it a “blessing” to be in the play-offs this year, his first as Selma’s head Coach.

“I’m excited to be here, I’m excited to be a Saint and I’m excited to be going to the play-off’s my first year,” he said.
