Nobody likes to lose, but the kids have been working hard and nobody's hanging their head. We have a lot of kids who also play baseball, basketball, and hockey, so soccer isn't their first sport. We don't have the best skills, but we play with a lot of hustle and determination.

(Ayer?s retirement) has been tough for the kids. It?s a big change for them, (Ayer) is a legend. He did it for reasons he had to and the kids understand that.

We're doing a better job moving the ball to the outside and our passing has gotten better. We play in a tough conference and even though things aren't going well, the kids still take the field believing they can win. They don't get down on themselves and that's what keeps them going.

We feel very strongly about all children having an equal opportunity for education,

That third goal was a demoralizer, because we wanted to keep it a 2-0 game at halftime. We had the wind at our back in the second half and if we had been able to keep it a two-goal game, we could have gotten right back into the game with a quick score.

If you've got something you're interested in, you better be awake, because it's coming, flying through there.
