Harrison has always been a tough place for us to play. They are just so scrappy and keep coming at you. You can tell that they have improved - especially with their pitching.

We just know now we need to come out strong in the first half. We just came out to play in the second half because we knew we had to score.

Ryan Hubbard also made a big defensive play for us. We had a little bit of blown pass coverage and Hubbard came flying over to knock a pass away that could have been about a 40-yard gain for them in the first half.

The last few weeks have been great for us. We've learned a lot. Now in conference play, there is a big target on our backs, especially when PLU is involved.

We were ready to play. It had nothing to do with not being ready. They just beat us.

At halftime, coach told us he was disappointed. That's not the way we play. It wasn't anything other than an effort thing.
