 All right Glen Clark here at the Green Turtle Classic and two wins this weekend for this man. He is the head coach for Nazareth, Rob, Randall, and coach. Exactly how you drew it up today, right? Exactly the way you imagine you guys would win. That's pretty much how we've drawn up every game so far this season for us. Racing out in the 9-0 lead at the half, then holding on for the 11-9 win over Cabrini. I guess let's start with what went right in the first half that you got out of the big lead, what went wrong in the second half that you had to hold on late? You know I'm not really sure to be honest with you. I think we were we were doing a good job with our shot selection and some shots were falling early and we gained some momentum and as you guys know you see enough lacrosse it is a game of spurts and it's a game of momentum and we had that early momentum early and you know fortunately we were able to hang on. I don't know if there's an MVP award given out for this event but if there was I would imagine Drew Siminoe would have quite the statement in that category. Yeah well you know as I said yesterday he in my eyes is a first-team All-American and just an outstanding athlete, great kid and he's a ground ball machine. We can depend on him in any situation. He was kind of hobbling around today on a bad ankle and and he found a way to get it done and that's huge especially later in the game when we're looking for possessions when you know they were gaining some momentum. The goal right before the end of the third quarter where McDermott just flings it at the length of the field and there's Luke Wooters waiting for he turns around. How key again it's amazing to think he could be outscored six to one and one quarter but the one could end up being bigger than the six but that's the way it felt going into the four. Yeah you know I mean that was a it was a it was lucky that we got that goal it was a great shot by Luke and a great ride. I thought defensively we did a pretty good job for most of the game there was some lead-ups there in some six on six situations but we really emphasized to the kids to play great defense and that includes the riding game and I thought we did a good job in the riding game and I think we got that goal off of a ride and fortunately we're able to put that away. For the weekend two victories the experience here how much will this help your team moving forward? Well you know I mean it's a great event as I said yesterday we we love being a part of it we beat two really good teams fortunate to be two really good teams and you know we got a we got a kind of regroup and get ready for our league play starting on Wednesday. Well Coach Rob Randall we appreciate it congratulations on a great weekend and best of luck moving forward. Thank you Glenn. I'm Glenn Clark for sfmsports.net. Glenn Clark back here at the green total Mustang Classic Cabrini Falls day 11 to 9 and what ended up being a thriller coach Steve Colford joins us now and coach I don't know this is one of the stranger wilder games I've seen not just at this event but really in in years of watching lacrosse I guess we'll start with what went wrong that you guys are down 9-0 at the half and then went what went right that you guys are back in it at the end. I mean I think the difference is just energy you know I mean where we came out and we just didn't play with any energy you know I mean and you know obviously never having played in this event and never played in back-to-back games and you know our preparation is something that we really try to pride ourselves on and so I think maybe our kids get used to that and so this is a different animal and so they kind of show up kind of like not expecting you're not sure what to expect and you know I was clear you know Nazareth was was highly prepared and ready to go and play with a lot of energy and we didn't and then you know at half time you're just saying listen you got to play with some pride and just go out there and compete and that's what that's what changed. You made a change in goal in the game and Jake Reynolds really was impressive after coming in what did I guess how did the decision come about to go to Jake and then how impressed with you like what you saw from him. You know unfortunately sometimes the goal he suffers in terms of because he sits there on that island so yeah Tyler probably would like a couple of those shots back or starter but you know you make it you're looking for a spark you know to get you started and so it's easier to isolate on that position than to sub your whole attack or fill your day and and so that's kind of what the thinking was there try to get a spark try to get a big save. Jake is one of those high energy kids in practicing in our program the kids feed off and so that was really the thinking and so you know I think for the most part at work there was a couple where you know but you know we were just trying to grab at anything at that point. I think as the second half went on everything seemed to be going your way other than two departments face offs clears maybe the two things that if you could have just done a little bit better in that second half you might have been able to pull off a spark. Yeah I mean that's it I mean you look at our stat sheet they were plus 19 on ground balls which is and 13 of them came in the face off circle and then failed clears you know and then we just talked about in the locker room you know we gave him eight extra possessions on our failed clears we know their pressure ride they condensed the field you can't let your defensemen run up in there because that's where they get swallowed up and again when you're fatigued in players playing like this is our fourth game in seven days and I'm never going to make excuses but it's just hard for them sometimes to mentally process the things that you're asking to do when the body is just that fatigued and and you know so we learn some valuable lessons it's still a very long season you know we got a lot of lacrosse to play can we get better sure I mean we would like to go on home two and no absolutely we go home one-on-one and we learn from it I mean that's that's what this experience is about and why we scheduled the teams that we do and then just to wrap up your overall thoughts on the event as you mentioned first you're being a part of it and ended up after our debacle on Friday ended up having some great weather and a really nice event yeah I mean obviously I would have loved event if we were two and oh I mean I kind of like it at one-on-one I probably never be back if we were going to so no it's a wonderful event obviously top-notch facility everyone here is wonderful the coverage it's just a great experience for our kids we want to be a premier program in the country and to do that you have to compete against other premier programs and obviously Stevenson and the other teams that are here are in that group and so we only benefit from this you know wins and losses aside or our program gets better it takes the next step and really shows that it belongs in that grouping of teams that that want to compete at the highest level so well Steve Crawford we certainly appreciate having you guys out here thanks for taking the time for us post game today and best of luck the rest of the way this is Glenn Clark from the Green Turtle Mustang Classic for SFM sports.net
