We got some timely hitting. The kids played well; we did get some offense and strong pitching.

Pitching and defense is the biggest part of the game. We've got at least two pitchers coming back. We're looking for good things.

It's going to be a challenge to replace the offense. Getting into the playoffs for the first time in school history was a great achievement. Last year showed us our system and philosophy really are working.

The kids know we're a little bit of an underdog. But I think there's only two teams capable of beating Franklin in the state, and I think we're one of them. We have to wrestle our best, and try and make some breaks, but we've got a shot.

When you see four, five or six kids packed in one automobile, then it becomes a major problem,

The thing I liked at halftime was that we had about 15 or 20 assists. Our kids are very unselfish right now.
