Alonso works very hard, and they play with a lot of passion. They sort of got us out of our game in the beginning. Once you go one up on them, they kind of die down, and then you can play some soccer.

With the merger of the three clubs, it has grown into something bigger. With the growth of HCU it is important that this tournament does do well.

I think the game against [Clearwater Central Catholic] showed that they were having a lot of fun and playing with a lot of passion. That's what I try to get them to do, and that's when they're at their best, when they're having fun.

That was trademark Eddie right there. He's as good with the ball as anyone in his age group.

It's tough to find Jeff on an off day and he's just solid game in and game out. I thought we had the better of play but we have to do a better job of finishing our opportunities.

Jeff played really well. It's tough to score on him. We just have got to do a better job inside the box.

We got a lot of balls in the box and we got a lot of [scoring] opportunities. We finished them off.

It wasn't pretty, but it was need win. It is difficult to play on such a small field with so much wind. We tried to get the ball into their half and into the box, then play a little soccer. We will work on finishing our chances before next Tuesday, especially the easy ones.

We just have a ton of talent. But they took us out of our game at times in the first half and in the second.
