Going into the game first round of the North Coast Section playoffs against unbeaten Foothill High of Pleasanton, we weren't too confident.

We kept our energy nice and calm, but right when the first kickoff happened we were ready to play. We, as a team, were doing very well in the first half. We were executing all of our plays to perfection. The defense performed very well against Foothill's top offense.

Last year, Irvington beat Logan to stop Logan's 40-game winning streak in League. This year was a different story. Irvington had a lot of returning players coming back this year. All summer Irvington was talking trash about how they were going to beat us.
