Brian and I like to think big. |
Devon battled as long as he could, but he could barely walk. |
Devon is a tremendous young man. As a coach you can't help but enjoy every moment you spend with him on the field and in [physical education] class. He is mature beyond his years. He is quite possibly the best ninth-grade player I've ever been around. |
He could be quite possibly the best freshman I have ever coached. |
I don't see how we could beat them a fourth time. |
I told him that if we get into a situation where we have runners in scoring position, he needed to get ready to hit. I had a sense that something positive was going to happen. |
I wanted to give someone else an inning or two, but he was just rolling along. |
It makes you stronger, having to play four games in four days. You have to take care of your body, stay focused. We would have liked to win it, but we came out of it a stronger team. |
It was a gutsy performance for John to take the mound. He really battled even though he had the cut on his hand. |
It's a good and important win. The district is one of the toughest in the state. Anytime you can get a win against a district opponent, it's a good win. |
Our mantra is good pitching and good defense, so that was kind of a typical game for us. For (Peacock) to be able to command three pitches like that was very impressive. |
Someone needs to step up to the plate and offer him a scholarship. |
That second one he hit, I think is the longest I've ever seen hit here. That was a no-doubter. |
That's what he does. He's been steady all year. |
The second one was the longest I have seen hit to that part of the ballpark. He really got it up in the jet stream. |
