Allen outplayed us. It's that simple. We played flat and couldn't get things going. |
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. |
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. |
I don't like ties. I have never liked ties, because it always leaves a little bit of a sour taste in your mouth. |
I felt bad for him. I didn't think it was a foul that merited a warning. |
I think that match brought us closer together. I think it is going to do a lot for us. |
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. |
It is complicated. It might be hard to go back and refigure had you coached for 20 years with shootouts that entire time. |
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. |
Matches are always at a quick pace and physical in this tournament. You have to be on your toes every moment. That's a reason we've been back in this tournament for five straight years. All the Garland schools are really talented. |
My heart felt a lot better and I didn't lose any years off my life (Tuesday). Josh came up big for us when we needed him to and Tyler (Sullivan) made many big saves for us. |
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. |
That will be a new twist. I don't see weather being a factor this year. |
That's the way we like it. |
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. |
