Winning Section II finals was a big accomplishment for us. We knew we should have won last year, but we came up on the short end. We had to live with it for a year. I guess, a year later -- good things come around if you wait.

I'm just speechless right now. We've been down by a run four or five times this year, and the kids just refused to lose. These kids showed a lot of heart and character, and that's what it's about.

We're here to win it all. We're not here to just show up. We're going after the whole prize, and that's the state championship.

This was the best group I've had in eight years. Hopefully the seniors will go on and have a great career, and the juniors and sophomores will get back here again.
