Our team understands that we're going to be facing great competition from all over the state. If we can do well in this meet, we should be in for a really good season.

The competition is good. Everyone is getting their reps and everyone is getting better. In the long run, it'll be good.

I think I'm part of the competition. Nothing's decided yet.

That's very impressive with the competition. I'm very proud of both of them.

I tried to treat it like a regular game, and not stress too much about competition or the fact that these guys are Triple-A ball players. I just wanted to come in here and have some fun, and I still wanted to have some quality at-bats before this weekend.

The kids are ready to play. It goes beyond getting the pads. They want the competition.
