We have some kids who want to use this high school season and the Legion baseball as a springboard for college. I think high school baseball will afford colleges to recruit during the school year.

This will make us more competitive for Legion. Hopefully it (club season) will take off and more kids will want to play. I think it will put the hook into the younger kids.

I don't want anyone to get hurt. We had a really successful Legion program last year - it's already a long season.

The kids wanted to do it.

We had three kids over .300 and nobody over .400. That's not great for high school baseball. We had to always hope for a pitcher to come up with a great game so we could stay in the game, and most of the time that didn't happen.

Our goal is to use the regular season as a springboard and have our best product at the end. I'm pleased with our team chemistry. That's something we haven't always had.
