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.
crowds hope local mix
We have a local mix of 4A and 3A teams, so I hope the crowds will be really good.
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.
build falls happen hard hoping keeping kids looking positive
At this point, we're looking for something positive to happen and something to build on. The kids are working hard and keeping a positive attitude. We're hoping this is when it falls into place.
effort everybody healthy playing time trying
The kids' effort is great. They're playing hard, doing everything we ask. We're trying to get everybody healthy at the same time. At that time I know we'll be real effective.
beat difficult hit kids
I know Whitmer is a lot like Helms. It's going to be difficult to hit him. Our kids are going to have to play really well to beat him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
