Carolyn was patient as a freshman playing behind Leslie Hill and Shannon Sims. She's had that look in her eye this year. She has a lot of determination. |
Courtney did a great job in goal. We've got to figure out how to become more consistent in our play. |
Defensively we were okay. Offensively we struggled to put together the combinations we're used to. |
Heritage has that great winning tradition. They've won a lot. You think of top soccer teams in the area and you think of them and the two Arlington teams in the tournament. That's why they call it the Tournament of Champions. |
It kind of takes you out of your normal game. You have to find other ways to solve your problems. It changes our game. She's so consistent. In four years, we've never had to be without her. |
It seems there's always some kind of drastic weather. We kind of get used to it. |
She plays big. Our kids know as long as they score goals, she'll hold up her end of things. |
She's been steady forever. She gives the defense the confidence to play. She's such a leader back there. |
She's shown her maturity early on. She played great against Colleyville Heritage and Arlington Martin and we won the Plano Tournament of Champions. Then there's the way she has played to start district play. |
She's so consistent and such a leader on the field. The best thing she has is good judgment -- just judgment of what to do when and how to play with composure. |
Since I've been here at Plano East, this is the largest senior group we've had. It's the largest number of signings we've had as well. |
These are players that have pretty much come all the way up through the program. They have all shared the same experiences here. |
We got everyone a lot of playing time and it was a marathon. Soccer-wise, it was not as productive as I would like it to be in the goal-scoring department. |
We want to be able to go into the shootout with confidence. We don't want to abuse it. We want using Courtney in the shootout to be our back-up plan. |
We were a little flat and may have taken our opponent too lightly. |
