He's showing more confidence with the ball. He's putting the ball down at his feet and he's starting to do stuff with it.

I have to say at the beginning of the season I was nervous because I lost some many kids to graduation and other schools. But these kids that are here have just stepped up. I'm very proud of them.

That's one thing about them - they won't give up. This is definitely the toughest team we'll play all year. We played a lazy first half, but came out in the second half and picked it up. I'm proud of them for that second half. They did a good job.

I tried experimenting, playing some players out of position.

Our defense has been strong all year long. Game after game, they keep showing up.

Matt's a fantastic keeper. He's had a great year ... I don't have a bad thing to say about him. He did a good job. They had three good shots on him and made them count.
