We get families with kids and retired people, and I'm sure they're all on fixed incomes where they can't afford that extra for gas, so I can understand that.

We just did some things that we didn't take care of last time we played them. We picked up our defense.

They've definitely learned more about Black historical figures this year because of Lewis coming.

She's great. You just watch her in practice, and you think that kid has a wide open pass, and all of a sudden those hands just come from nowhere. She has a good eye for the ball. She has a good read for the ball. We call her, 'spider.' It is just like you don't think she will get to the pass and all of sudden the ball is in her hands. She has a good sense for the ball and she works hard.

She's every coach's dream. She's competitive. She's smart. She works hard. I couldn't ask for anything more from her.

She is a warm and considerate woman. We knew she would nurture our children. I'm unable to understand why a competent teacher was removed at this critical time.

They came here just to play ball and I still don't think it's really hit them that they are here. They know they are at the Little League World Series, but so far, they've just been themselves and play ball.

You prepare for the season and even though we were successful, everyone always remembers that end.

These kids set a great example for our younger kids. They treated everyone really well. They just brought a sense of enjoyment to the season.
