CENTRAL CHRISTIAN QUOTES
Head Coach
Aaron Hoxie
"Tough result to take tonight. We just didn't play well for 90 mins. Had moments where we were good and in control of things but we couldn't take advantage of it. Had some individual performances but as a unit, we were poor at times."
"We each need to check ourselves and figure out how to get better quickly for the turnaround Tuesday, including myself, and the messages I'm presenting to the boys. That match has significant meaning now."
