“We started fast, missing several point blank chances early. The remainder of the first half we played some great attacking soccer while our central backs and Erin held tight and did a nice job on the best forward tandem you will see in class 2. In the second half we quit winning 50-50 balls in the middle of the park and were unable to get the game in a flow and use our wingers.”
“Bolivar has beaten us five times in the last two years, ending the both seasons for us in district playoffs. We had a wonderful team on the ropes at their place and lost our sense of urgency at halftime.”
“If you have a lunker trout at Bennet Springs on the hook you have to work especially hard to keep tension on the line or the smart ones get off. If you quit working when they break the water, you will lose a trophy fish. That happens to the serious fisherman one time. The recreational fisherman could care less because there are always smaller fish and the scenery is beautiful. Our experience in Bolivar could end up being the best thing to happen to us.”
