Michael Rabasca Quotations

I think Corona will be back. They will be a better team. I wouldn't count them out in the region.

Collin puts himself in the right position at the right time.

The thinking in the back of our heads was we had other players scoring goals last year. It was a matter of whether they matured over that year, and whether that maturity would compensate or develop the type of attack Nick and Kevin provided us last year. I think those players are doing that.

We're honored that we played well enough to get to this point. The thing that we'll look at is that there's only a handful of teams that have been able to win back-to-back championships. I think that will weigh heavily on our mind.

The next two weeks are very important. Once Thursday comes, that will be the most vital part of our season.

It's been three years. It was a good game, and Mountain Pointe is a good team. I guess when you have zero' at the end of regulation you are doing something right.

We finally penetrated their box and put the ball toward the net. We talked at halftime about being more aggressive inside . . . and we were definitely more aggressive in that moment.

Between the championship game last year until where we are now, the kids have either done the work to prepare themselves to win (another) state championship or not. (But) I think the kids are very excited to build a program. They want to be a strong part of that. Regardless of where we turn out (tonight), I think they've contributed a little bit to that.

We call Collin Mr. February. He has the ability to make timely saves. He made the extraordinary look pretty ordinary.
