Hans Kleinschmidt Quotations

He was the leader of the defensive unit. His plan was to have a great game. He played flawlessly. Everything he did was the right decision.

When you have 14 kids stick together through four years it shows you that they are the best of friends and not just a team. These guys are going to remain friends for the rest of their lives. They will have lots of good memories from high school.

This was everything you want in a soccer game - 100 minutes of pure excitement. Both teams played exceptionally well defensively and offensively. For us to shut out a team with with their size, counter attack ability, and offensive capabilities says a lot. Klein Collins needed the win to help secure a playoff position. There was a scramble in front of the goal with just few minutes left to go in the second overtime.

We might have lost, but what the kids have done is something that's hard to replace, even with more wins. It'll be a while before you see another group like this.

With Lufkin's offensive power we expected a close game. We were up early and had a 3 to 1 lead at the half. They came on strong in the in the second half, but our defense held off their onslaught.

At this point, we aren't going to make a whole lot of adjustments. We've been successful playing our style. We are just going to be aware of what they do well and limit what they do on attack, and organize ourselves to take away their high percentage passes.

Defensively they threw some things at us that we anticipated, and on a smaller field, with our speed that our that played to our advantage. We were also able to take advantage of some of their mistakes early and that set the tone for the game.

They are excited about the opportunity, but what is good about this team is that they are relaxed and they are having fun. They put in all the hard work to get to this point and that's all we can ask of them right now, but they're not so uptight that they are not going to perform well.

This is the most wins The Woodlands has had in a season, breaking the previous record the team from 1991-1992 had. To get to 23 wins was well indicative of what these guys can accomplish.

They're not a high-scoring team. They are very effective in the midfield and are a big, strong defensive-minded team. They take pride in scoring one or two goals and making it stand up.

It's always good to start off with a win. We got some younger guys some varsity experience. We're happy with our performance. We hope to build on this.

It was a hard fought, relatively quick game. We took advantage of several mistakes they made in the back. Overall, to shut a team down with a counter attack like Conroe's says a lot for our defense. They deserve the credit.

It will be fun. We aren't looking forward to next year just yet. We want to let the kids enjoy what they've already done.

They've played twenty games since then and so have we. The level of both teams has grown. It won't be recognizable.

I am very pleased. Our boys continued to play hard. We were able to score early which took the competition out of their rhythm. This allowed us to work on some things and give our younger players a chance to gain some valuable experience. We have secured a spot in the final four and look forward to playing two quality competitors (today). It should be a great day of soccer.
