concerned couple dig felt last proud score team
Once they scored, I was concerned with how we would react. We never quit, even in the last couple of minutes. I couldn't be more proud of the boys. I felt the first team to score would have an advantage. The other team was going to have to dig in deep.

We missed the playoffs. Ideally, each match is a stepping stone to the next one.

We seemed to fix a lot of the things we needed to (Saturday). I was pleased with our effort and the way we closed out the tournament. It's always good to close out a tournament with a win.

Every team needs one. It may come down to who does and who doesn't get one. You want to start hot in this district. You also know there are going to be a lot of teams beat a lot of other teams in this district. The talent level in this district is pretty impressive.

It was the tale of two halves, but we managed to get the job done. We played better in the first half, but were able to squander their scoring chances as well.
fewer quality rather shots work
The thing I'd like for us to work on is getting better quality shots. I'd rather us get fewer shots that go in than to take more shots that don't. I'd rather have quality than quantity.

In our district (8-5A) there are no ties. It's a win or a loss. Everyone should be doing the same thing as far as shootouts across the board.

He's very solid in goal, but his knowledge of the game and ability to read makes him very valuable in the field. His foot skills are extremely good.

This should definitely alleviate any doubts. This is what we were hanging on for.
beautiful chances played second shots tale
We played a beautiful first half, but let them (Marcus) take too many shots in the second half. It was the tale of two halves. We had our chances in the first half, but we just didn't capitalize.
