We're just being careless with the ball, trying to make the home run play when we don't need to.

We have a big week next week. We play Connellsville at home on Monday, Mount Pleasant at home Tuesday and at Connellsville on Thursday. That will determine a lot for the section.

I think going into conference play, every series is big, especially your home opener when you are trying to build some momentum. Being in a tie with (Austin College), it brings a little bit more to the series and hopefully we can make a move and put some space between them and us.

Our defensive intensity finally picked up a little bit. We've been talking about trying to play better defense and playing with a little bit more energy. We started a little run there at the end of the second quarter and kind of kept it going from there.

The flooding stopped about a block from our home, but we lost two huge pecan trees. They were probably about 200 years old and just snapped off at the base. They took out our back porch and that blew the French doors open.

During the month before the home tour, we spread out about 100 quilts and do a quilt grab. Each house's representative gets to pick which quilts will look nicest in the homes. It's becomes a real free-for-all.
