Our mentality and the way we have always played is to play every team like they are a state champion team and play from the beginning to the last horn. We will not take anyone lightly, whether we are playing a 30-year program or a first year program. |
Right in the middle of the game I thought we were in trouble and I just told them 24 minutes they have to pull it together and a team and they did. We held them to two goals in the second half. Our transition game was awesome, we took away the two guys that score 70 percent of their goals. |
The competition just gets harder from here. |
The offense ran real well, but their shot placement still needs shining up. All around from face off guys, to offense, to defense, to goalie, to attack they all did everything almost perfect. |
The only difference between the Commonwealth and Cedar Run is that for the past seven years, Albemarle has gone to states and no one has beaten them. In the Cedar Run, I think everyone is more evenly matched. There is no team that everyone is going to lose to. It is so competitive because everyone is fighting for a spot. |
We almost played four quarters, but we played three quarters. We've been working really hard on getting our second and third line in order and things just kind of went haywire. |
What you expect to see here is the same thing from the first year. You are still going to see a hard-nosed team that plays to the last second of the game. That is the kind of attitude I try to project and I try to get 100 percent out of them. |
