Ellie Radke can do it all. She's a player you can build a program around. |
Everyone knew him. He was just special. The school and sports fit his life perfectly. We did some things to help him, and he did a lot to help us. |
For some reason, our area has been a stepchild for a long time. |
I think it's terrific. A lot of people in my neighborhood have been saying, 'Oh my goodness gracious, we wish we had a movie theater.' They don't want to have to drive up to Sarasota. |
I think people are starting to know their roles. It's not just Inger (Hodgson) and Katie (Sutter), although those two can carry us if they have to. |
I thought coming into this we were evenly matched. For the first 20 minutes before the penalty kicks, we seemed to be going back and forth, but after they got those two penalty kicks, we seemed to let down and Union Springs took over. |
I'd vote for her in a heartbeat. I didn't think that before seeing what she's about. |
If we could figure out if that's happening here, we'd be way ahead of the game. |
It used to be that you count your fish when they go out, wait a few years and count them when they got back, and that's all you knew. |
It's not a coincidence that we did it with her on the team. It was a lot of her doing, a lot of her drive and drawing everybody along with it. |
Let's face it, we did a great job getting back here. But we lost six seniors and now we're counting on two or three freshmen and a couple of sophomores to step up. And they did a great job for us this year. |
She pitched excellent today. She had good control on the outside corner and changed speeds a little bit. She was pretty much throwing the ball by them. We're going to win some games if she pitches that well. |
That's asking a lot. It certainly will make it tougher to get to state. |
The kids are pretty exited. |
The other team played better than us today. That's basically what it came down to. |
