The seniors were the heartbeat of this team. We would have struggled without them.

He is the heartbeat of this football team and possibly the heartbeat of this city.

They didn't want to be the team that didn't go unbeaten in the area and they didn't want to be the team that didn't host the area tournament.

We've been a team that's really struggled all year. And the struggles haven't stopped.

We rely on the whole team to do well. We have a lot of returning seniors and players on this team, who know they can win.

We graduated so many seniors that this is really a young team. We're going to take our lumps just because we're so young. We've got new pitching because we lost five pitchers. We lost all three catchers. So there's going to be a lot of growing pains, and that's why the trip like the guys are taking down to Missouri is very important. They're going to get a lot of games in and we can kind of sort things out a little bit to try to get ready for conference play down the road.
