"This is a good way for us to celebrate Senior Day," said Bethesda University head coach Michael Gonzalez. "I can't thank those 13 guys enough for what they've done for the program. They have made such an impact on this program on and off the field. They have put in the work to become better players and men. Hopefully, we can come out this weekend and play to our full potential and give these guys a win on their day."
After Senior Day the Flames will have four regular season games left before they find out their post-season fate. The Flames are currently ranked #8 in the NCCAA, according to the latest national poll. The Flames have been ranked as high as #3 this season.
"Our guys have played well this season," said head coach Michael Gonzalez, who's in his 5th season. "To win over 20 games with our schedule is not easy. The players come out and play with a purpose. I think our ranking is very well deserved."
