(The) tournament went pretty well. We played well as a team. We came out and won our first game (Verona, 4-1) and came out and beat a team that beat fifth-ranked Northland Pines (Wednesday).

Pretty much last year when we went down to the state tournament most of the kids were happy just being there. This year, most of the kids have set goals. This year it won't just be good enough being down there. We want to make a statement.

When I arrived I was well received, and we learned together. Over the years, the students' abilities and competence improved greatly.

If you build their park, great. We'll have a park in the city. But how long is it going to take you to build that park?

It's new each time a different student handles it.

Very few people have seen the team perform. Now a larger audience can see them if they have public access television.

We're looking to get back at University School. They beat us earlier this year 6-3 and really took it to us. We want to take it back to them. If we don't win that game we don't win conference.

It's a new game. Anything can happen in the playoffs, just like Sheboygan did (Friday) against Waupun.
