effort few games given good kids last winning
It would be good for the kids to go out on a winning note. The last few games they've given a good effort and done some good things.
catch early hole innings year
Big innings defensively have been our nemesis all year long. That (third inning) put us in a hole early and we were not able to catch back up.
belief deep hitting kids mature refuse sign
We haven't started hitting the ball, yet. But our kids have a real deep seeded belief in themselves, where they refuse to panic. That's the sign of a mature team.
field full playing starters though
We have not been playing well of late. Our big thing though is it's not how we start, it's how we finish. We have not put a full set of starters on the field yet.
crowds hope local mix
We have a local mix of 4A and 3A teams, so I hope the crowds will be really good.
last pitching staff
That's a big part of our pitching staff back from last year. That's remarkable, because we didn't think we'd have him all year.
game gives honor looking obviously team tournament
They are obviously the team that everyone is going to be looking at as a team that could be in the championship game because of their experience. It's an honor to have them back here and it gives our tournament a lot of respect.
bit build consider far gaining hoping kids loss momentum played potential
We still have not played what I consider up to our potential yet. I'm hoping that the kids can regroup, take tonight's loss and build on that a little bit as far as gaining some momentum and intensity.
five giving good guys opportunity possible run starters tournament
We are going into the tournament without five possible starters who are in basketball. Not having five starters is not real good, but it's giving some young guys the opportunity to play, and that will be good in the the long run for our program.
chance couple definitely games takes win
We definitely have a chance to win these games. We're going to do what it takes to try to get that done to win a couple games this week.
couple four prevent runs
They got four runs there that weren't pretty, but they got them. There were a couple of things we could have done differently to prevent that, but we didn't do it.
ace hopefully produced runs
That's kind of the them of Tuesdays so far. We haven't produced enough runs for our ace to win, so hopefully that will change.
hitter last natural year
Zane had an exceptional year last year. He's just a natural hitter with a lot of natural ability.
definitely far intensity leader leadership showing
Jeff, so far this season, has definitely been our leader as far as intensity and working hard. I think Jeff's leadership is showing up at this point.
