Jeff Steele Quotations

If the ball bounced our way, it could have been a 1-0 or 1-1 game.

I expect her to be a consistent, solid player, but this exceeded my expectations. She hit the ball hard every time at bat. Even the out she made were hit hard. She's got great confidence at the plate. She's very relaxed when she goes up there. She can hit the ball to all fields and she goes with the pitch very well.

The first goal, I thought my goalie had it.

Our defensive intensity in the second half is what did it for us.

We feel more comfortable playing them, because we know we can beat them, because we have. I feel comfortable going on the road with this team too.

When you have that, you're most likely going to win. We played pretty close to 32 minutes tonight. I thought Tuesday we played about 16.

We shared the ball well tonight. Anytime you beat North Hall it's a good win. They always give us trouble.

I'm proud of my team. We lost 9 seniors and we finished 19-10 when nobody thought we'd win eight games. I'm happy. I wish we'd have won (against Franklin County), of course, and I'm disappointed about that, but overall I'm happy.

We needed it; we needed a win going into the weekend.

We played a poor first half. If we had played 32 minutes like we did the last 16 minutes, there wouldn't have been a problem. There's lessons to be learned from everything, and the thing that the (Johnson players) coming back -- and even the ones leaving -- need to learn, is that when you do something you do it whole-heartedly.
