He gives us a big advantage. In the high school game, that play is used a lot, and he executes it nearly perfectly.

Justice was served because I think the ref gave them a goal. It was unfortunate that it came right at the end of the game. But the guys came through. That’s what they’re supposed to...

Sometimes in soccer, the ball doesn’t bounce your way.

You hate to give up goals right at the half, but Ben made a great play over there, and we played dumb. We had a couple of chances (to clear the ball) and he punished...

I was really happy with focus we had coming in. Obviously, the result is nice, but I think it’s a byproduct of that focus. We wanted this game bad.

I was happy with our play on both sides of the ball today.

It’s disappointing, but Chaparral tied, which bails us out a little bit. We still have our destiny in our hands. We just have to make sure we come out and play hard for 80 minutes,...

We did just enough to get the win. We need to be a little more inspired, and we weren’t.

Getting to the semifinals for a lot of guys that were there, it wasn’t enough. We would like to go farther this year. It’s going to come down to whose got the most heart, and...

I thought they just made a couple of key mistakes in front of their own goal. It looked like a little miscommunication between their sweeper and their goalie sometimes, and we exploited that. The game...

(Atkinson) had a great game. We couldn’t really get things going and he got it going for us.

You pretty much have to throw pretty soccer out the window at this level any way. Nobody wants to make a mistake and the players are a little nervous. It’s hard to settle in. We’re...

I just think that we were not as cool as we needed to be in the first half. But it’s not terribly worrisome to me that we weren’t able to finish those opportunities. The big...

Everybody’s good when you get to this stage.

Ultimately, we weren’t ready to play, and (Murrieta) played hard. You can’t let a team totally dominate you for 40 minutes and expect that, in the next 40 minutes, you can come back, because Murrieta...
