It was a good team game out there. It was very enjoyable for our guys.

Our guys have to take ownership of the team. We'll take a couple of days off, regroup and get back to work Monday.

It looks good. We've got a lot of experience. Twelve guys on the team have started a varsity game at some point. We're pretty deep. It looks like we'll carry 15. Defensively, we'll be good because we have a lot of competition for spots. As always, it comes down to pitching.

This is the way it?s going to be every game. I told the guys to embrace it, not fight it, then go out and have fun playing the game.

I think our guys remember that. I think they do remember getting embarrassed and humiliated in that game. It wasn't much fun.

This was the best game we've played all year. The guys understood this was a good Holmes team. Now, this team is looking forward to going to play at Northwest. They know it's a challenge, and they look forward to it. But we know we have to take it one game at a time.
