Most of my team right now was the one that went through the 7-8 season. You talk to any of my guys and that's the one year they would like to forget about.

This is the first senior class that has come up since I've been here. I see that our performance is just starting to shift. We're starting to turn it around.

We actually had a couple of down years. Maybe because of a new coach and different styles.

You have to be consistent. If everybody hits at the right time, you're in. The key is having the type of kids to the point where you know you're going to be in the top four or five schools going in. The rest of it is doing it that day.

The key for us right now is our No. 2 and 3. They shot 82 and 83 (last weekend at the Maple Ridge Girls Golf Classic in Columbus). If they can shoot that kind of score again (today), we'll be in good shape.

Our goal was to hang around where we are right now until we got everybody back. I think our team and the coaching staff have done a remarkable job keeping us [afloat] under the circumstances.
