behind bunch develop later leading players rather
Usually someone will develop into the leading scorer later in the season, and we'll have a bunch of players behind him. I'd rather have it like this.
guys time
After we scored, I think a lot of guys thought we had it won. But there was a lot of time left.
anyone game glad happy hurt wet
I'm just glad to get the game in without anyone hurt. It was wet and slippery, but I'm happy with how we played.
couple game goals half second
It was a game where we could have had a couple more goals in the first half and a couple more in the second half.
attack ball playing shots three
We were playing all right. We were on the attack and had possession. They had just three shots on the night, but the ball bounced their way on two of them.
controlled field hard wind
We controlled possession, but we weren't as crisp as we have been. But Pennington Field is a hard place to play because the wind swirls down on the field.
coming game gave heart itself kept porter scoring state tournament
We scored and you think that would be enough. Porter kept itself in the game and showed heart by coming back. Scoring (their first goal) gave them momentum. Little things like that in a state tournament game can make the difference.
chances except game lots picked second
Each game we got a little better in our passing, except for the finals. We picked it up in the second half. We had lots of chances and should have scored.
anyone hard stop total touches
We want to get him more touches with the ball. He's hard for anyone to stop one-on-one. He has the total package.
guys team
Every team is different. These guys want to do something a little more than the last.
adjusted goals happy improving last players positive steps took
So far, we have 10 different players who have scored goals for us. And most of them have had multi-goal games. We took some positive steps in improving last weekend, and I'm happy that the players adjusted to the moves.
ball game hope likes onto run speed takes team
A team that likes to use its speed up top, Nicky takes that out of the game and the team has to play more possession. They can't play that ball through there and hope to run onto it because he'll be on it too quick.
again defense help hoping offense players returning strong
We're hoping our defense will be strong again and will keep us in games. We have a lot of young returning players on offense that will help out, but it will take them a while to get going.
defensive move player quick top
He's so quick that he can put a move on someone, and you can't even see what he did. I think he is the top defensive player in the state.
