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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
