These young men have just really responded well to just about every test they've had. They are playing with a tremendous amount of confidence.

It was not our best effort but it was good enough. Andrews will be much tougher (today).

We toughened our schedule up to be better prepared for the district run and it so happened that the kids responded to the challenge.

(Thompson) is a sophomore who's been pretty dominant in every game and he's really going to be good the next couple of years. That'll make you struggle offensively. Our kids were a lot more disciplined at the plate as the game went on.

Chris didn't have his best stuff but he really battled out there. We had some big defensive players and had some kids battle at the plate.

Unless it's really pouring bad, unless field conditions are terrible, we keep going. It's just tough on men and women and equipment. I think farming is the most humbling of professions. On any given day, I can experience any given emotion known to man.
