“We had 90 percent of the play in the first half, we just had trouble scoring. They were dropping their players back and clogging things up. But once we started scoring, everyone started feeling better.”
“We had a good meeting this morning and tried to clear up some of the problems we had with A&M. It was a real good team that we had beat in the final, so that's a great result for us.”
“Usually 4A teams do not have 11 (good) players, but Athens does and came up with the plays it need. I was very impressed with them. I think we can do better, but we got beat by a good team.”
“We are having trouble scoring goals and that is how these games are determined. We had much more possession and created chances, we just weren't putting them away.”
“I don't think we could have lost and still been in (the district race), so it was crucial. We've had some crazy results this season, but I challenged some players and I think the whole team responded.”
“It was similar to a goal Daniel scored earlier this season against Churchill. He really struck it well and you needed to hit a good shot to beat their keeper.”
“We have to win this last game, and I feel if we don't win, then we don't deserve to make the playoffs. We have let enough games get by this year, and this one is a crucial game for us. It should be an easy game for our guys to get ready for.”
“I don't want to just scrape through (for a victory) in this game. We need to play well and have a convincing win to have any hope of doing well in the playoffs.”
“We came out and played well and were able to finish some chances. The goals came pretty quick, but it was still a battle the rest of the way. I am proud of the guys. They knew this was a big game and they weren't going to let this one slide by.”
