For some reason, when the other team scores, it’s a wake-up call for our guys.

No one said it’s going to be easy. We’ve got our work cut out for us.

It was just about effort. Who wanted the game more.

That was a wake-up call.

We pretty much controlled most of game. After they scored, we pretty much took it to them. We started out strong which we haven’t been doing and the intensity level was good the whole way...

If we play like we did in the second half against Indio and most of the game against Coachella Valley and Cathedral City we should be in good shape.

It was fun while it lasted. We had our opportunities, we just didn’t finish. That’s the nature of the beast, an inch here and there.

The kids have taken big steps. Last year it was learning they could win. This year it was knowing they could win.

It’s a credit to Ricky, Mike and Mitch. They didn’t bail on the program.
