"It was an up and down game and we dug ourselves a little bit of a hole," Gallatin County head coach Doug Miller said. "Our kids never quit and even down by 14 or 15, we scrapped back and cut it to three at one point and then it seemed like someone put a lid on the goal. We couldn't make a shot"

Gallatin County came into the EHT 0-6 and for Miller his goal was to play in the EHT for three days.

"We wanted to make it all three days and we knew something good was going to happen," he said. "Our kids started practicing harder and harder and I could tell, guys like Robbie Price were growing and getting more mature and it's been a fun process to see these guys grow and get better."
