He pitched the first four and did an outstanding job for us. It gave us the lead and let us get more arms in there.

I expect Oak ridge to come out and play extremely hard. They've got more All-District guys coming back than we do. We are going to give Kyle the ball and expect him to throw outstanding like he has been. Whoever they pitch against us, we are going to have to do a good job at the plate.

If he throws like he did last year and last Monday against LaPorte with his competitive nature and the great stuff that he has we are going to be in every game he throws for us. We are just going to let our defense behind him.

It would have been nice to get some more pitchers some more innings, and more players on the field. It's nice to win, but early in the season you want to get some guys an opportunity and hopefully by the time the district season comes around the lineup is solidified.

It's the third time we've been down there and it's the first time we've won all three. It was nice to get that victory on Friday and beat the defending state champions last night [Saturday].

Kyle is the best player on this team. We'll limit his throws, but he's our leader and really needs to play all the time.

Last year was the first year in about 19 years they didn't make the playoffs, so you always know they are always going to have a quality team. They usually have a lot of talent. We don't know a whole lot about them, but I fully expect them to come in ready to play and have one or two real good pitchers to throw at us.

The pollsters tell me it's because of Kyle that we're picked so high. And he's definitely a huge part of that. But we have a strong group this year. One person can't do it all. It certainly helps to have him back, but he knows that baseball is a team sport. And he's on a great team.

They're a great team, and they have two outstanding pitchers. It will be a great challenge for us.

We had a good showing in Ft. Worth this past weekend. Pretty much all of our pitchers that threw did great for us. Our defense is not quite where I would like it to be, but we have a lot of talent, and the guys are working hard. We need to improve.
|
We're looking forward to starting up. We have some good teams coming in. Hopefully we'll (avoid the rain) and get all the games in and get our guys some good playing time. We start district a week early this year with the nine-team district. We'll be playing Lufkin in a few weeks.
