He can pitch. I saw him last summer in a wooden bat league. He's crafty, just like Cornelius. He's a competitor. When he gets on that mound, he wants to send that hitter to the dugout.

Your goal every year is to go to the state championship, realistically or not. That's why you play.

That's just the way we've been. Everybody's been contributing RBIs here and there. Nobody's just exploded.

When it's over, one team will have won and one team will have lost. One team will be up as far as the district race goes. We go to Central Friday, and they go to River Ridge. That's basically it, bragging rights for 24 hours until you have to play the next day.

There were no American Idols here tonight. That was ugly.

We're young, but that's no excuse. In a game against this type of ball club, you can't make mistakes.

He's a good competitor. I probably should've gotten him out a little early, but I just wanted to see what his mettle is. He proved it.

He's been effective, and his speed is increasing because he's getting used to the rotation.

They all have their little niche in it that we want them to be thinking about.
