She's a lot better this year. She has a lot more movement on her pitches.

We don't throw it when people are on base.

When Ari throws a pitch, I know where it is going to go.

It will make us better. We all want to get better, and it makes us work at a tougher level.

Last year, our only competition was Pasco. Against the other teams, we pretty much walked away with a win.

A lot of the traditionally strong teams are here again, and some new blood is in there too. When I look at Franklin, I see a young team that has some talented kids and has been here before. They're a team we certainly can't look past because this is a one match season now.
