We have a nice one, two, three punch at singles.

It's a dismal report. Unnerving. Is this the beginning of a one-two-three punch?

It's a good place for singles to find fellowship. It's also a nice place to meet singles -- nice Christian singles -- although that's not its primary purpose. Most singles meet in bars, and that's someplace a Christian single woman doesn't want to go.

[Brett Hoerner: One of three true freshmen on the roster (the others being guard Richie Williams of Steele Canyon and forward Kyle Spain of Newark Memorial), this forward from Fullerton High is still recovering from a serious ankle injury. But he is out of his cast and could be ready to go when practice begins.] We're optimistic that will be the case, ... His injury was fairly severe, but the doctors feel good about his progress, which makes me feel good.

You still have to have the punch to hit a three-run homer when you need it.

Who knows what's going to happen in singles? We've played three days and we're dead even. The two teams are so even it's unbelievable.
