The self-inflicted wounds, which I think are our biggest bugaboo in all our losses. We kind of get in our own way. When you do that against really good teams, they may make you pay.”Running clock rolled through the second half, Gladbrook-Reinbeck scored two more times before Coon Rapids-Bayard found its lone trip to the endzone on the night.“I’m proud of how our guys competed,” Lindsay said. “We didn't just roll over.”Senior Caden Oswald got the score on a rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter.Oswald is a part of the six seniors that ended their season in a state quarterfinal.“I'm lucky to have them for three years,” Lindsay said. “They were puny little sophomores my first year as an assistant coach and now seeing all of them in that maturity level. They've all grown into leaders in different ways.”Coon Rapids-Bayard season ended at 6-4 with the quarterfinal appearance.“Just a heck of a season,” Lindsay said. “That's a really talented group. When we played to our full potential, we had the huge success that we had. It may not hit right now, but these guys did change a lot for CRB football and CRB as a school.”Hear the full interview with Coon Rapids-Bayard head coach Nathan Lindsay below.</div></body>
