We played much better tonight, especially on offense. We really came out to play.

I think we ran out of gas trying to come back.

Lonoke is a very good team, and we didn't play as well as we did the [previous] three games. When people put a little pressure on us, we get intimidated.

I hope our hitting will be more consistent this year.

I'm excited about getting started this season. Expectations are high after last year's success, and the newcomers will step in and help us a lot.

If we go out and play every game, we should be right near the top in the conference. But we can't and think we can get there. We've got to put out the hard work necessary to be winners.
