Team thoughts | “The loss is in the past already, the only way to keep our head up is just to realize that we have practice on monday and we have another game on Thursday so we have to keep looking at that and just keep getting better every day,” varsity player, Hector Gonzalez, said.
“We had a lot of mental mistakes, it’s gonna happen, we’re gonna lose some and we’re gonna win some, it’s part of the game but we take this as a lesson. We go back on Monday and fix those mistakes,” said Varsity player Abraham Ceja “Verdugo is in the past already, we have another game coming up on Thursday so we have to get back to it. We are using this loss as a learning experience.” Ceja said
Our thoughts | This was a devastating loss especially because they won their season opener but the team is committed to practicing everyday and improving their skills. They will be back this Thursday better than ever.
