Central Christian Quotes:

Head Coach Aaron Hoxie:
"It was always going to be a tough night at the office when you lose your CF 10 mins into the game. It seemed to have a negative effect as we were unable to connect and get out of our half. Never the less, we dug in and had a grind into half. Despite being out played, being down 1-0 was a positive for us."

"The 2nd half was a completely different team. We presented a threat and forced them into uncomfortable positions, which paid off. We were a few technical breakdowns or one better decision away from scoring. But it wasn't to be today."

"Still proud of the guys. They worked their tails off to help turn the tide of the game. We never gave up and fought to the end."

Go Tigers!
