2003 Titans

4/25/03 - St. Alberts
This is a tough one to write about. Any time you lose it is tough. We just didn't play with a focus tonight and we were lacking the heart that the Saints had. They wanted it more then we did and they played like it. We didn't Communicate or poses the ball. You can't poses if you don't communicate. I do want tp point out the play of tonight of the defense again tonight though. Seth Jackson, Luke Thompson, Zach Paulson, and Dan Gulden played their hears out. Justin Toole made several great saves and kept us in the game. Dan Fischer stepped in when called upon and played very well. We will be ready tomorrow and hopefully tonight woke us up. Tonight showed that you have to play hard and be ready for every game. One game at a time. Enough said about tonight, we have a tough schedle ahead of us tomorrow and hopefully we come ready to play. Tomorrow we play in the Urbandale tournament it will be a good challange for us to see who we are. We will play Perry at 10am and Urbandale at 12:30.

If you are going to the game it will be played at the Cownie Soccer Complex on the SOutheast Side of Des Moines at 2400 E Hartford Ave. To get there take I-235 east to the East 14th St. exit and proceed south of the exit ramp along East 14th St. Turn left to go to the soccer fields at the on Hartford Ave. Remain on Hartford Ave. East until you reach the Soccer Park. The fields are spread throughout the complex. See you there, come support your Titans, and help get back on track.

JV tried to show Varsity tonight what not to do, but Varsity wasn't watching. We had our minds some where other then at St Alberts and on soccer. This was not the same team that has played the first three games of the season. Tonight we deserved to lose. We fell short 0-2 and it was a very tough loss. JV can take the weekend off and come to practice on Monday and see if we can get ready to play Riverside on Tuesday. We will have to go to Oakland, it is always an added twist when you have to play on the road. We as coach's will take some of the blame for not having them ready tonight, but we also can only do so much, we will change that in the future.
