I told them before the game, 'It would be a huge challenge to find a better back three and goalie,' with the records they've set.

In the first half, we struggled to settle. We were playing kickball with that team. We settled down, and the second half we got to play.

All the pro teams I've played on, you always take kids out with you. We wanted to do a fun thing for the kids. I'm sure they got a kick out of it.

It's just been a real challenge for us to try to find ways of getting these guys out. It's been tough work. It's been physically and mentally taxing.

We needed a game of this nature. We would have liked a little more of a challenge but it lifted their spirits . . . We haven't been scoring as much this year as last year.

The Batmobile wasn't a stickshift, and it was a challenge to drive, believe me.
