Once they have that down, even if the coach changes, and somebody else comes in, it's that same system that they're going to play. So those kids, once they become juniors and seniors, they would have been playing that system for three or four years.

They're a little bit discouraged by the fact that they conceded that goal so early in the second half. I think at that point, the writing was on the wall.

I am encouraged that a few ninth-graders do look like they have what it takes to be really good players.
