We made three consecutive mistakes on offense that allowed North Allegheny to tie the game. The whole match shifted from that point. It would have been a whole different match if we could have won that game.
We are not that far behind the teams ahead of us in the rankings. We just have to get mentally tough.
We run a 5-1 offense and Dan is the best setter I've seen thus far in our section. His twin brother and Dan Follett are his favorite targets.
There were 22 teams and we finished fifth. We went last year and finished 18th, so I was very pleased with our improvement.
We are a junior-dominated team. Many of them have varsity experience, but they are still young.
This year we have a lot of starters coming back, so the expectations are crazy high.
North Allegheny knows how to win. They have this aura about themselves that has been created by their past success. We haven't reached that stage yet. We don't have that mental edge yet. We've got to get mentally tougher.
This is only our fifth year of existence, but we are not far from the top of the mountain. The kids just have to keep working hard.
We're struggling to get some public help to rebuild our AAA stadium, let alone to build something of that magnitude. I don't know if Charlotte can support three major-league sports franchises right now.
