All 10 of the players know that they have a job to do, and they know that they'll get quality playing time if they get it done.

We were spotty at times. We were aggressive, but we still have some toning up to do offensively. We came out and wanted it, but it was obvious that we hadn't played in seven days.

Our goal is to get a playoff spot. We definitely have the pieces, but we're going to need to execute and we'll need a little luck, too. Our district is killer.

We really want to take all three games, because we'll need that going into district next week.

There's definitely star-quality in these kids.

This will certainly be a special trip for our program. I know that the guys are looking forward to competing against some of the top clubs in Europe as well as immersing themselves in the Dutch football culture. The fact that we are able to see Bruce and the US national team compete against Germany is a special bonus. This will be a huge boost for our young team as we continue preparations for the 2006 season.
