Quotes by Noe Cerezo

“We had every chance, and we just couldnt put them away. We were coming at them the whole game, but its OK. I told the boys it was OK and to keep their heads up, but weve got to work on finishing. Thats all there is.”

“Its just a matter of time. The kids are getting it together and its one of those things that half of them dont have the experience. They can play, its just sometimes you need the experience, too, and its gotten better every time.”

“Its OK — were just learning from our mistakes. We just made a couple of little mistakes and they scored on us. Other than that, we were with them toe to toe and just couldnt put it away.”

“Were not the same team we were from the first game. I really think its going to be a different story than the first time. It seems like these kids realize what they did wrong, and theyre going to come out and try to fix what they did last time.”

“Our defense has been so much better and our kids are finally finishing it up (on offense). Weve gotten our confidence back, and thats what has gotten them through the past few games.”

“The bottom line is those guys are good. We had our chances, too, and couldnt put it away. The bottom line is they were the better team and did what they had to do. We had a few little mistakes and weve got to learn from those in the future.”

“We shouldnt have even been in that position to start with. The first goal they score, were still in the game. But after the second one, we were spending the rest of the time trying to put the ball in there in a hurry when we shouldve been scoring a long time before.”

“It could have been much easier. Its not going to get any easier now. Its going to get harder.”

“It just depends on who shows up to play or not, thats the bottom line. You just dont know for sure. Central has been the only dominant team and with everybody else you dont know which team is going to show up and play.”

“It went in — thats all that matters. Ill tell you what, both sides were playing good and it was anybodys game. The guys really wanted it.”
