Jeff Steele Quotations

I expect her to be a consistent, solid player, but this exceeded my expectations. She hit the ball hard every time at bat. Even the out she made were hit hard. She's got great confidence at the plate. She's very relaxed when she goes up there. She can hit the ball to all fields and she goes with the pitch very well.

If the ball bounced our way, it could have been a 1-0 or 1-1 game.

We needed it; we needed a win going into the weekend.

We shared the ball well tonight. Anytime you beat North Hall it's a good win. They always give us trouble.

We played a poor first half. If we had played 32 minutes like we did the last 16 minutes, there wouldn't have been a problem. There's lessons to be learned from everything, and the thing that the (Johnson players) coming back -- and even the ones leaving -- need to learn, is that when you do something you do it whole-heartedly.

When you have that, you're most likely going to win. We played pretty close to 32 minutes tonight. I thought Tuesday we played about 16.

We feel more comfortable playing them, because we know we can beat them, because we have. I feel comfortable going on the road with this team too.

Our defensive intensity in the second half is what did it for us.

I'm proud of my team. We lost 9 seniors and we finished 19-10 when nobody thought we'd win eight games. I'm happy. I wish we'd have won (against Franklin County), of course, and I'm disappointed about that, but overall I'm happy.

That's a great start, and then after that we kept building on it.

The first goal, I thought my goalie had it.
