I'm excited about it. Even when it was just the two schools (North and South), it was something we all looked forward to. Everyone gets excited about it. I just hope we have good weather and a good day this time.

She had a great year last year. She was all-state, all-district and all-conference. She did a wonderful job for us and has great leadership abilities.

Oh, we haven't played North for a while due to weather and a coaching change. We just couldn't get a game.

To me, that makes it legitimate. Sometimes you play a team because of circumstances with injuries or they're a lower division and maybe throw a no-hitter against them and you wonder. This was a legitimate opponent that's a very high quality and well-coached. The next game they beat (Darby 3-2).

She was perfect against a very tough team. You never expect a perfect game. She flirts with that almost every time out. So far, she's a tremendous strikeout pitcher, and with that you don't have many base runners.

We're going to be busy with games, that's for sure. It will be good because the kids will be together.
