well as could be expected in those situations and played good
defense within the red zone. All Pebblebrook's first half
points came from big plays outside the McIntosh 20 yard line.
Dion Stokes showed flashes of brilliance scoring all
McIntosh points.

everything. LaGrange is not as big as Pebblebrook but they are
