Coming here brought back memories when I scored on this field. To come back and win on this field again was very special. |
For us to come out and play the way we did in the first half showed a lot of confidence. The tide turned completely in the second half, but we persevered. |
Gabe is the quintessential soccer player. He has the tools and loves to go forward. He is just the complete package. |
He was one of the catalysts of the team. We would not have gone far without him. His determination when he has the ball is equivalent to national team players. |
He was the man of the match. He understands this game well, and he came out ready to play today. |
He would have been the last one I would have expected to score. Even behind the goalie. |
I actually wanted to be in the locker room on the side we used when I was with the Strikers. However, we were always the visiting team. It was unfortunate because I wanted to show the boys where I sat, where my locker room was. |
I just told the referee to cut it right there. We didn't have enough players, and it was going to be a blowout. We played four games with only 11 guys. They were physically exhausted. |
I looked at the schedules, and a lot of [2A] schools played a lot of games in their own classification. We played a lot of bigger schools. |
I was definitely watching the clock. |
My style of play is to attack. Relentless attack. |
Our record is totally misleading. We're a final four team. There is talent in this program. The one thing I told the players is that I don't want to see nothing short of a state championship right now. |
So far as scouting the other team, I just get tidbits of information, not too much. I plan my game according to what I believe. It's up to the other team to beat us. |
That's the way soccer should be played. I hate it when we go to these fields that are like tin cans. Soccer cannot be played on a football field. |
The Almighty is going to have to work wonders for us [in the final]. |
