Carl can play anywhere because he is so versatile. John has done a good job of showing me that he wants to play second.

I don't know what to expect. I would just like us to go out there and play hard. We have some good teams that we are going to play early in the season. Hopefully, that will prepare us for district play.

You can't go down 1-2-3 in two innings in a game like that. You can't after spending the past two days working on your hitting.

The kid's got a rocket for an arm. He's played in the outfield, but he wanted to try shortstop, and he has really picked up the technique pretty well. He comes from such a baseball-rich program that his overall fundamentals to play the game are pretty good.

I am not satisfied with going from blowout losses to just losses. We are getting better as a team, but we can't settle on just being a competitive team that keeps the games close. I want to win.

I think the team is still hung up on what happened in Santa Rosa.

They will be our horses for us on the mound. They are the only returning players that have any experience at the varsity level.
