A lot of things out of our control, that was our message to the guys. We had opportunities all year. ... You've got to just deal with loss and get stronger for it. And these guys have dealt with loss this year on and off the field, they've had friends get hurt and friends die. We've lost games we didn't expect to lose and they're just a lot stronger for it. |
Brian is a really good player, he's one of the better juniors in the state. |
But the way we came back, twice, showed some character. As young as we are, that's a big thing for us at this point in the season. |
Douglas is the team to beat. I firmly believe that. |
He has a broken wrist, broken pelvis, broken tailbone. ... It was extremely serious and he is lucky to be alive. Some of the guys have been going back and forth to see him. They came out with some hop tonight. I heard them talking to each other before the game about playing well for Daniel. |
He pitched a whale of a game. He kept them off balance. It was another hard-luck loss for him. |
I told the guys that's the most important number on the scoreboard. |
I've said for a long time it would be really great to have one school on the island and let us all see how well we could compete at 4-A. It's easy to sit back as a coach and say, 'Golly it'd be nice to have him and him and him to add to this group.' I'm sure there's other coaches saying the same things. |
In Fairfax County, the Hispanic population is disproportionately affected in these pedestrian accidents. |
It was disappointing not to win our tournament. We try to win our tournament every year. And, of course, it was disappointing the way our season ended. We had the talent to go to the playoffs, but we play in a tough region. |
It was exciting for me just to go down there and show people what I could do. |
It was loud, I could barely hear the plays. The crowd was unbelievable. I can just imagine how it will be for a regular game. I had a lot of fun, getting in there and learning everything I can. |
It's going to be excellent, but we've got our hands full. |
Most of the complaints we get are from pedestrians. But we're not sitting on piles of money and community needs sometimes outweigh our sources. |
Nobody wants to see these accidents. |
