both final goals half led win
It was eerie, because Margaretville led 1-0 at the half in that game, and we scored two goals in the final 10 minutes, both by Lance Eldred, to win the game.
beat beck final goal goals half held kevin lead minutes next remember tables turned until
I remember Kevin Beck scored a first half goal for us, and we held the lead until the final 10 minutes and then they scored two goals to beat us. But we turned the tables on them the next year.
accomplish challenge coaching coming everyday favorite few finality loss love loved lucky practice season takes team weeks work worst
I love the challenge of molding a team to accomplish a goal, and I'm lucky because I've loved coming to work everyday and I've loved every day of my coaching career. The first day of practice of a new season is always my favorite day, and the finality of that final loss of the season is always the worst day. It takes me a few weeks to get over it.
defense few philip strong
There's no question, our defense is our strong point. Philip is just solid. He makes very few mistakes.
best ended five great kids minutes number played shots teams
We pummeled Poland's goalie with a number of shots in the first five minutes but didn't score. The kids played great and those ended up being the best two teams I ever had.
eight good involved keeps kids leading team true
I don't think we'll have a true leading scorer this year. I have as many as eight kids who can score. I think that's a good thing. It keeps everyone involved and makes for good team chemistry.
blame feeling kids obviously played prepare
Obviously, I'm not feeling real good. I didn't really prepare the kids as well as I probably should have. I thought we were ready, but obviously we weren't. I'm not going to blame the kids. The kids played hard.
best defensive entire extremely goalkeeper league philip played proven season unit
Philip has proven he's the best goalkeeper in our league this season. Our entire defensive unit has played extremely well all season long.
ball couple great inside job
Scotty did a great job for us tonight. Their big guy, (Mike) Barnes, got a couple of fouls on him, so we got the ball inside and (Richards) did the rest.
chances goal guy
When you have a guy like Breuer, chances are he'll get at least one goal a game.
handle pressure push
That's one thing we've changed. We've started to push more. We need to handle their pressure and if we can get into a half-court offense, we'll be fine.
both boys chance community girls great special teams
It's great for our community to have both the boys and girls teams in this game. We have a chance to have a very special day here.
beginning buying eventually game goals good guys happy high last might realize win
We set very high goals at the beginning of the season, and I think eventually the guys started to realize we were pretty good and buying into it. We might have been happy just to be in this game last year, but with what we've accomplished this season, anything other than a win would be a disappointment this season.
anybody last surprise year
We won't surprise anybody this year. Last year was fun. This year, there's a little more pressure, but most of it is self-imposed.
