amazing impressive level school speaks state talent titles truly winning year
Just winning two state titles in anything, any year is an amazing feat. So to have it done in the same sport by the same school is truly an impressive feat. I think it really speaks to the level of talent in the area.
caliber club eight high impact increase last level notice number school seven start training
I really started to notice the number of players, and more importantly the caliber of players, start to increase in the last seven to eight years. The training they have been getting for years at the club level is making an impact at the high school level.

believe chance college gives guilty heard helping misses perfect player step system time
It's not a perfect system but I believe that if a player misses time because of club, it gives another player a chance to step in and show what they have. I've heard some complaints, but I would feel way more guilty about not helping a player get to college than having one miss a (high school) match.
experience taken
The experience of being here helped. Every year, we've taken another step.
chances
I thought we should have put some of those chances away in the first half.
