The only time we'll have to play a Broward or Dade team is if we play them in the state championship. We're looking forward to that.

Every time we play the big teams, we've given up the big plays, we've had the turnovers. Talent-wise, I know we're as good as anyone in Palm Beach County, but we always make those mental mistakes. So that's what we've been preaching all week.

One bad play can come back and haunt you. That's what happened a lot to us this year. We played a good game and had one inning other teams capitalized on.

As we spent time trying to play catch up, it was even harder trying to establish the run. We still had some plays that we thought we could be effective in running and we were disappointed that they didn't work better.

I think everybody's excited to get together and play one last time. (Event organizer) Dave Foltz has done a tremendous job with this. He deserves all the credit. I told the kids they need to search him out and thank him. Hopefully, it's a good time for all involved.

It may have taken us awhile to play this well. That's okay. This is the perfect time for us to get good, right near the end of the season.
