Gregory knows how to score, and he's taken all our free kicks for two years. Experience counts for a lot out there.

Definitely. We were dribbling when we would have been passing, playing short balls that should have been long balls - with Greg out, people think that they have to replace him, instead of playing into the scheme.

We do things very nicely sometimes. Other times . . . we're very young. We have five sophomore starters.

At least they have a little bit of playoff experience. We're confident. We know Palo Verde's a great team. If we can play well, anything can happen.
