We've got experience coming back, we've got some solid players and I'm really looking for this team to do some good things this season. I really think we have the ability to get back where we were last year, but it's still a waiting game. We'll have to see how everything works out, and that takes a little time.

I was extremely happy with how our kids responded. We came right back and scored five of our own.

Leah is good at changing her speeds up and really fooling a batter. Morgan will play infield and back Leah up, so that's always helpful. But Leah, I mean she really has the ability to put the ball anywhere and give our defense something to work with.

It was nice to get started on the right foot. It's good to score runs early against a good ball club. ...The kids hit the ball well early. It was just a great start.

That was a sore spot for tonight. But our kids will produce. I know when they get back in that position they will be all right.

They made a lot of catches tonight; they earned their money out there.

They didn't come in bunches. I think we had opportunities to score more than we did. A couple of times we left some runners out there.

She threw a great ball game. She did a great job all day long. I mean, we lose a game to Conway and she only gave up one hit. It was just a great effort by her.

She's got some tools that not many have. She's a hard worker and she's strong. Her bat speed probably rivals a bunch of college kids. She's aggressive, and right now, those are things you can't teach as a coach.
