We're hoping our defense will be strong again and will keep us in games. We have a lot of young returning players on offense that will help out, but it will take them a while to get going.

We want to get him more touches with the ball. He's hard for anyone to stop one-on-one. He has the total package.

So far, we have 10 different players who have scored goals for us. And most of them have had multi-goal games. We took some positive steps in improving last weekend, and I'm happy that the players adjusted to the moves.

He's so quick that he can put a move on someone, and you can't even see what he did. I think he is the top defensive player in the state.

His tactical understanding of the game is far above most high school guys. He's as skilled as any player I've coached. He has the talent, if he wants to, to play professionally in the future. I've seen a lot of college games, and he'd have no problem fitting in anywhere right now.

Each game we got a little better in our passing, except for the finals. We picked it up in the second half. We had lots of chances and should have scored.

A team that likes to use its speed up top, Nicky takes that out of the game and the team has to play more possession. They can't play that ball through there and hope to run onto it because he'll be on it too quick.

Usually someone will develop into the leading scorer later in the season, and we'll have a bunch of players behind him. I'd rather have it like this.

My best teams have had three, four or five guys scoring. But Scott was exceptional.
