This has a chance to be for the district title. If we beat them we'll be tied and if we lose we'll be behind them by two games. That will be hard to make up since we should both win out the rest of the way. |
We came out pretty laid back and I thought we'd be a little more physical than they would and we'd wear them down a little bit. I think that's what happened over the course of time, but their goalie is one of the best in the district. The poor guy just takes more shots than anybody else. But he made some unbelievable saves. |
We can't come out flat like we did tonight, we have to play two strong halves. Wylie is a young team with a lot of sophomores, but they played hard. Mineral Wells is a little bit of a lesser opponent, but we can't expect them to just roll over for us. |
We clinched a playoff spot tonight, and if we beat Mineral Wells at home Tuesday night, we'll wrap up at least a tie for the district championship. |
We got done what we needed to. |
We had a long bus ride and it looked like it in the first half. We were a little flat in the first half, but it's hard to get up for a team that has struggled for years. |
We picked up right where we left off. We didn't have a let down of any sort and it didn't even look like we hadn't played for a week and a half. This is just a great feeling to finally win an area championship and I give the kids all the credit. |
We relaxed a little bit over the next 15 minutes and that goal gave them a little bit of momentum. |
We scored five goals in about 14 minutes, which is kind of what I expected to happen. |
We went through a rough period there in the middle where we lost six or seven in a row and kind of got down. We turned it around and built the offense up, but we know that we're going to have to play much better in the playoffs against even better opponents. |
We're used to playing when it's about 60 degrees, and with it being 90 today, it took a little more out of us. |
Winning matters first, but every goal matters the rest of the way, too. It can change every game. |
Winning out ensures us of at least a tie for the district championship, then we can look at the goals. We can't let the goals get ahead of winning the games. |
Winning the district championship outright is up to us. It's always good to control your own destiny, and it'll be good to be at home for two games over spring break. |
You could tell Wylie didn't have much to play for tonight. I thought we dominated them like we should have the first time. This was kind of carried over from the second half of the first game. |
