"I'm really proud of the kids, the resiliency they showed," Muskego coach Ken Krause said. "It sounds crazy, but we could have been 7-2. One or two plays difference, starting at the beginning of the season with the fumbled snap in the victory formation. Franklin and Tremper, I could sit here for an hour and tell you how different those (games) could have been."
