adversity against competition face goes grow handle men season team time wilt
It's time for our team to grow as young men or wilt against better competition. We're going to face some adversity as this season goes along. Time will tell how we handle it.
against couple definitely facing including job louisville pitchers saw season theme top tough win
He's definitely one of the top pitchers in the region. But after facing the tough pitcher we saw at Louisville Eastern, I thought we'd do a better job against him. You'd think that with that many hits, including a couple of homers that we could win this game. But the theme of our season continues... not making the plays.
billy compete good players quality team tough
One of our players had a really tough night. Other than that we showed we could compete with a quality team like Dunbar. We have a pretty good team, especially when Billy Darryl is on the mound.
exciting field good hitting home man plays supposed
We did what you're supposed to do and for me that is more exciting than hitting a home run. We executed some good old-fashioned plays. We hit the cut-off man and we made the plays in the field to win.
ball defensive expect few happy hit last pitching timely year
I'm really happy with our pitching right now. We had a few defensive lapses, but you have to expect that this early. We didn't hit the ball well, but we did have some timely hitting. That's something we didn't have all year last year.
ball cause fear good innings pitching planning takes year
What can you say about this kid? He takes the ball with no fear and he produces. We were planning on getting him some innings this year and here he is pitching like this in the district. It's a good thing he's pitching well, cause now we're going to need him.
across baseball exciting few fun game good played plays pushed
This was a fun game to watch. There were some exciting plays and just good competitive baseball. I thought we could have pushed across a few more runs, but we played good enough to win.
bad bounce eighth good great shame tyler win
Jake pitched a great game. It's a shame we let them back in it. It's good that Tyler was able to get his first win because he showed that he can bounce back from a bad inning. That's pretty good for an eighth grader.
phenomenal time tyler unheard
Having two triples in one inning is something that is unheard of in my time with the team. Tyler just had a phenomenal game.
games pressed pull schedule team tough
I wanted our team to be pressed some this year. We have some tough stretches in our schedule this year, but I think we can still pull out 15 to 20 games this year.
break tough
It's a tough break for us because he hasn't really pitched that much for us.
ball continue games high level school staff win
It's so important at the high school level to be able to get the ball over the plate. This staff will win some games if they continue to do that.
absorb competition easily injuries last player players three time work
There's a lot of competition for these spots. I think every player understands that there are two or three players that could easily take their spot, so it's got to make them work harder. It's also going to make us more able to absorb injuries than we were at this time last year.
coming errors field hurt lose lucky mistakes players rust seven several showing veterans year
I think some of our players have the jitters out in the field. It's the first year of varsity for several of them and some of our veterans are showing a little rust coming out of basketball. We were lucky that the seven errors didn't really hurt us that much. Normally, when you have that many mistakes you're going to lose the game.
