Gary Reynolds Quotations

I want to give Mercer credit, they really never gave up. It was 6-0 at halftime, and they came out smoking. They were winning balls and making effective passes. They were pressuring the ball really nicely.

There are all kinds of issues and a lot of it start with parents - they need to be educated - they know far less than our teachers because our teachers deal with it every day,

We felt they were 90 percent (effort) and we were hoping they would step it up that extra 10 percent. And they dropped it down about 30 or 40, ... If Somerset would have put one in the back of the goal, there's no telling what would have happened. Because you probably would have seen an even better and more energetic Somerset team.

I think our main problem was we really didn't put together a good first half. We're playing long ball and stuff, and we just don't play that way, ... Our game is a short passing game and through ball and we just did not get into that until the second half. And when we did, we started playing much better.

We didn't play well and I hope it's a wake-up call for this next game because it's going to be a tough game for us. If we play like this, we don't have a chance. Boyle County will take it to us and we'll go to the house,

We're required by No Child Left Behind to have 100 percent proficiency by 2014, so anything that takes away from instructional time from those three areas (math, reading and writing) at the elementary level is kind of critical for us to look at,

We really just had an outstanding game. We showed a lot of patience in our shot selection, which is what we were working on,

But, gosh, I'm a little bit nervous at this point.

We played well as a team tonight ... and our finishing effort has certainly improved since last game (a 1-0 win over Marion County Thursday). We think we've got a good team. We just hope we're able to continue playing at the level we're playing at.

First of all, we couldn't get them out of the locker room. And secondly, we just kind of moseyed on up to warm up. I sensed it a little bit. And I have learned that you'll play the way you warm up,
