We executed in the first half, on offense and defense. Ultimately, that's why it went the way it did.

That's just a good football team there. Our defense missed some tackles and kept giving up the big play and they are a big-play team.

That?s what they do. That?s part of their defense. We?ll be ready for it. That?s what we work on all week. The coaches put us in the right spot. When we go to the line, that?s what we look for from the defense. We look to see what they might do.

I think the defense was actually the highlight. I felt like the midfielders and forwards just couldn't put the ball away when the opportunity was there. Thank goodness the defense did play well.

We knew when we won conference we could go to state. And our defense was the difference.

You're not going to win many games when your top two scorers don't produce.
