coached entire hard might
It is complicated. It might be hard to go back and refigure had you coached for 20 years with shootouts that entire time.
five garland matches pace physical quick reason schools straight toes tournament
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.
ability extremely foot game knowledge skills solid valuable
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.
across district far win
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.
chances job played scoring squander tale
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.
allen flat played
Allen outplayed us. It's that simple. We played flat and couldn't get things going.
concerned couple dig felt last proud score team
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.
bad felt foul
I felt bad for him. I didn't think it was a foul that merited a warning.
factor weather
That will be a new twist. I don't see weather being a factor this year.
brought closer match
I think that match brought us closer together. I think it is going to do a lot for us.
fewer quality rather shots work
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.
closed effort fix good needed pleased seemed tournament
We seemed to fix a lot of the things we needed to (Saturday). I was pleased with our effort and the way we closed out the tournament. It's always good to close out a tournament with a win.
against bounce chances half hurt judging second several time trouble wind
We had trouble judging the wind in the first half and had several chances to score. We did better against the wind in the second half, but those long throw-ins hurt us. Now it's time to see how we bounce back from defeat.
nice players
We've had so many players contribute. That is what has been so nice this year.
