Seven yellow cards is the most we had in a game all season. I think it a game like this with the state playoffs at stake, emotions run high.
We moved the ball very well. We didn't give them many shots. We tried to stop their attack from their center and then attack them on the outside.
I challenged the guys to get off to a quick start. We needed quick strikes. That was our plan. Lakewood Ranch can be very dangerous.
We wanted to see how confident we are and how we measure up in the state playoffs. We're quite tested, and I think we're ready.
I think Palm Harbor played a better game. Their passing . . . they were just on. Any ball we sent down, they'd win it. Any ball in the box, they were tenacious.
I'm glad the kids kept their composure. They didn't retaliate.
We basically think not one person is the hero, the team is the hero. We don't have a star. The whole team is a star.
If he's unable to play, someone else will have to step up and fill the void.
To be honest with you, I didn't think we'd win a district title much less get this far.
