“It’s an amazing win over North Hollywood,” said Mark Martinez. “It helped us transition back into our normal schedule following winter break and we feel good about where we are as a team heading back into Pacific League play on Wednesday with Arcadia.”  Martinez added that Elkin and Seas’s goals in the first half were incredible and also said that both are guys that expect to score every game.”

Quote of the week

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.“
