Coach’s quote: “Our possession was strong and we did some nice things on offense. Our defense was solid. This was a fun game and balanced with action up and down the field. Now we have to control our own destiny and win our last two for a shot at making the playoffs. We can do it if we play soccer like we did tonight.” – Coe-Brown’s Josh Hils
“With three seniors, four juniors, seven sophomores and eleven freshmen, we have a diverse team all of whom are stepping up their game be it in training and matches. It is fun to watch the players taking ownership of the team. ” – John Stark’s Chris Pike
