Chris Cozort Quotations

We brought in Donovan to catch for six innings, and he hasn't caught since he was eleven years old. But he did a great job out there.

Like yesterday, we had one inning that got us. It's a matter of us giving teams too much.

We played hard. It's just that any time you're in a slump like we're in, the hardest thing is getting the first (win).

We played an athletic, well-coached team, and we let them jump on us early. Our effort is there, but we've got to start executing and step up against better teams.

We're not giving up. I've got a good group of guys, and we're going to work hard, practice, and get back on the right track.

We let a very talented team jump on us quick. The bright side is, we could've folded, but we scored and took them the full seven (innings). I'm satisfied with our effort.

We've got Alexander Central on Tuesday, Hickory on Wednesday in the makeup game, and McDowell on Friday. We'll take them one at a time, and try to get better.

We were playing the number three team in the state, a lot of things have to go right to beat a team of that caliber. They came out and scored runs. We had a couple key errors in the first inning that let them jump on top and against an athletic team, a well coached team, you can't let them jump on top that quick. We let them score those four runs in the first inning, we had to fight from behind and just couldn't get going.

We went 1-for-5 with four strikeouts when we had runners in scoring position. That's not giving ourselves a chance. I know we can do it, it's just a matter of doing it.

Small things are adding up. We're having several good innings but we're letting one inning get us in a hole we can't get out of. If we can solve that, we'll be in good shape.

These guys don't quit. It showed a lot of character for us to be down by eight and score five runs in the seventh.
