I told the players we need to win so that I can have the cash to buy some new ones.

It all depends on how the referees call it. We've been through that before. All the players are told to support it and not be negative in the beginning, so I guess we'll just go with that.

He told me and the refs that my players were playing dirty. But I learned that afterwards he was just trying to get into our heads.

They were bizarre own goals but goals win games and we gave them three.

I'm not going to pull any punches, I'm not surprised by this, I expected it. I told the players that all week. We deserve to be in this situation (5-0 on the season, and tied for first place with Joliet Catholic in the East Suburban Catholic Conference). We showed talent and focus both on defense and offense tonight.

We knew we weren't going to win by 40. I mean, (Lutheran) is a good team. They've got skilled players and they've got strong players.
