We were in a kind of turbulent time when he came here. Tony set standards for controlling the ball, for what we needed to do on offense and defense, and how we should play every game.
We were hovering near the bottom and it was nice to rebound and get some big ones. We needed to get more pucks to the net instead of making that one extra pass. Establish a shot first and that will open things up.
We knew what was needed within 48 hours.
We knew we were the underdog. We knew we needed to stay with them early. They didn't miss early, they didn't miss in the middle and they didn't miss late.
We knew we were going to beat Pine Eagle, but after that, we didn't know what the heck we were going to hit. We got lucky. ... Our kids wrestled well when they needed to, and came through and won.
We knew this win was in us. We just needed to execute, and we did that tonight.
We knew they would be tough in the singles matches so we knew we needed to win at least two doubles matches to have a chance. We won three and after that we really took their confidence down and we were able to pick up two more wins in singles play.
We knew they were talented. We didn't come out with the focus and composure we needed against a team like that.
We knew they were going to wheel it over in his direction. We were yelling at him from the sidelines to watch out for the ball. But I don't know that he needed us to tell him that. He knew it was coming and just jumped in front of the receiver.
We knew they were going to play their hearts out. Before the game, they said they packed two suits. They were confident about going to Sunday. That right there should have shown us we needed to come to play.
