I think you'd have a hard time winning a championship without a defense. Over the years, it's a proven fact.

Riding the bus on a trip like this is just as fast when you consider all the time it takes to get guys and equipment checked through the airports these days.

We have to compete on the field. That's just the facts. That doesn't interfere with all the time we've spent together before.

From the stories that I've heard about the last time we were there, I thought things got a little shaky up in the stands,

The defense has taken more time to coordinate than in previous years.

Memorial is ranked 12th in the state and really played awesome in winning the Big Eight tournament. Our defense was outstanding tonight, and offensively, we did a good job of setting up Tara (Dean), who did a great job of setting the hitters.
