There are still a lot of narrow fields out there. It's a completely different game when you have to play on a football field and we have to be able to adapt to that. If you want to win, you have to learn to deal with any situation.

We don't like to play a deep sweeper like some teams. We like to step up our players to keep it tight in the midfield. It's something I've picked up coaching at higher levels.

I think they've gotten too far away from having managers make decisions. I'm not criticizing commissioners. I'm just critiquing their platform for decision-making.

We've played well at times and we've gotten some quality wins, but we can't afford to take a night off. We know we have to be playing our best soccer in the playoffs. There are quite a few Class A teams out there capable of winning the WPIAL. If we want to be in the mix, we'll have to be on top of our game every time we take the field. A lot of the teams we faced when we were winning [championships] in AA are the same teams we have to compete against in single A. If we aren't playing our best soccer, we're going to have an early exit.

They have so much in-house brainpower that the use of so many consultants is time-wasteful, money-wasteful and lacks of sincerity and integrity,

We had a few guys hurt early in the season when we were playing the tough out-of-section schedule that we always play, but we've been fairly healthy lately.
