Bobby Howard Quotations

He's always had those legs and those shoulders. He could have played in the NFL.

He just started to get his pitches up. I thought he pitched well enough to win.

It didn't last. We thought that was enough (runs).

I think we're in a pretty good groove. At the beginning of the season, we didn't shoot very well. We're getting more balanced and that's getting me more open looks.

That was vintage Elliott. He spotted his fastball well on both sides of the plate and had all three pitches working. He's done a much better job coming inside this year when he gets ahead.

When that happens, coaching is easy. Merit has been working hard on his swing and has been spent extra time in the cage.

We had good pitching again, and we finally made it easier on (Kelley) by scoring some runs.

We fought back against everything, all the noise and the huge crowd. It wasn't pretty, but we got it done.

We'll get it all figured out. We'll be fine. Talent-wise, I think we're right up there. We just have to play to our potential.

We didn't play well enough to win. We had a 7-2 lead. We had the bases loaded. They did a better job and deserved to win.

We shot the ball real well and played great defense (early), and that set the tempo for the rest of the game. I tickled to death to be in the state tournament, but our work's not finished.

We had a tough time getting the ball to Bobby (Howard) in the second half, and Eric really stepped up. We tightened up our defense a bit and got some rebounds, and that was the game.

We just trying to find a spot for him. It's still early.

We were leading 7-2 in the game. We just didn't get it done.

We hit some shots and picked it up defensively and they didn't match us.

We didn't make any big plays. They made more plays than we did.

It's a guessing game. They could have pitched out... . He came through though.

That's a big plus for us. He has really worked hard.

I know other people might have a different perspective, but I can only judge Frank on how he's treated me and my family, and he's been nothing but first class. He likes to talk, he's very intelligent, and he'll tell you what's on his mind. I think sometimes that gets him in trouble, but he's a great person.
