That darn first period. If we had a game we could start without the first period, we'd be in business.
We knew Mitchell was going to come out strong. That has been their game plan all year. On the other side, we came out struggling and were a little flat-footed.
That's who I wanted to play first. We didn't want to play Watertown again coming off a tough loss to them. Mitchell will be a pretty exciting game for our opening game.
They came out strong but we kept our composure. It was a very back-and-forth game and exciting to watch.
As far as knowing the plays we've been running, we're as prepared as we're going to be. We'll take it one game at a time, one period at a time. We set goals for each period and that works best for us.
