Tonight's victory leaves me with a tranquil feeling. We did some things that were good and this will only help us get ready for our first game against Austin (April 29 in Laredo).

This is a team that I was allowed to build. The players will give their all in the field. I can assure you the players will play their hearts out. Our fans will see us playing to our optimum capacity.

There is nothing set, I haven't made up my mind. I have an idea of who the 11 starters will be. But it's good because that means we have several players that have a shot.

The idea is to bring back the teams core group and build around them. We are looking to shore up the team.

I want to thank the organization and players for giving me the opportunity to be involved in soccer. I assure you that the team will do everything they can to succeed and represent Laredo well.

I loved that there was a blanket of red in the stands and that lots of people came out for the game. I wish more would have came, but this was one of the best crowds I've seen.
