I though that this was a very good start to the season and that everything went about how we expected them to unfold. Any time you can finish a race with the top-three finishers, you are almost guaranteed to win the race. This is just the beginning and we know we need to continue to build off of this momentum. |
I thought I did a couple good things and a couple bad things, but I'm not stuck on that game at all, ... I'm moving on. It was a preseason game. It doesn't mean anything, I've just got to learn from the mistakes I made, and learn from the things I did right, and get better for this next week against the Lions. |
I thought I was pulling off the ball. I was trying to make the adjustment. I would, and then I'd throw a few pitches to a hitter, and then go right back to it again. So it was just one of those days. For some reason I wasn't able to make the consistent adjustment to keep me where I needed to be, and I battled. |
I thought the press was the difference in the game. Once they got it into a half-court situation, they played as well as we did. I thought we were better in the full-court situation. We wanted to push it up the floor, and we're really good at doing that. We'll start out in a man look and drop into a zone look. |
I thought we did a good job against Kyle Bell the first half. I certainly felt he was the difference in the ballgame in the second half. That's the first time our football team has got knocked off the ball this year. We certainly got knocked off the line of scrimmage in the second half by their offensive line. |
I thought we did a pretty good job after waiting around all day to play. We came out and played hard and even though we didn't swing the bats as well as I would have liked, I was pleased with our effort. Once again, we pitched well and played good defense and battled at the plate to score runs to win the game. |
I thought we made some adjustments after last week against Edgewood, ... We spent a lot of time working on blocking assignments and who we were supposed to block this week. I thought our guys improved from last week. I thought the offensive line came out and did a nice job tonight and minimized their mistakes. |
I thought we really stepped up in the fourth quarter on defense, otherwise we struggled the other three quarters. Offensively I was very pleased with what the boys did. They just seem to step up when they need to and that is something we've been doing all season. This was a good team win and I'm proud of them. |
I told him that I'd prefer him not to do that. He felt he could maybe get a bunt base hit and, like I said earlier, if he makes it, then we're OK. But even if he makes it, it still might not be the right play.. ... He feels that's part of his game in his mind. But, personally, no, I'd rather him swing the bat. |
I told the guys that they had to leave it all out on the court in the second half. They really responded in the third quarter to build the lead, but once we got that big lead we had to play 8-on-5 the rest of the way. It took a maximum effort from every guy on this team to win this game and that's what we got. |
I took the girls in the locker room and I reminded them that we are the only ones who could beat us. I said, 'Right now, that 41 (point margin of victory in the teams' second meeting) means nothing.' I didn't want them to get complacent because that's when you get caught. You never know what their mind set is. |
I want him to think of me in those situations, because it's a mismatch for me to be out there on DBs and linebackers, ... If I don't make those plays, I can't ask for that. Me making that play allows me to say, 'Oh, put it up. I'll make that play for you.' It builds confidence in him that I'm going to do that. |
I want to be out there as soon as I can, but I've shown that I can play both positions. I have a contract. I don't feel the pressure that I might have felt in the past. You want to be out there when you see other guys getting better, but you've got to follow the right procedures so you don't have any setbacks. |
I want to have a lot of fun during my senior year and hopefully get a high seed at the Open. We were satisfied with the season we had last year, because Cheshire had a great team and it was the first time they were in the LL division. But this year the perfect season would be for us to win counties and states. |
I wanted to make a statement about my core interests and concerns before getting any farther a field, and spiritual issues certainly animate much of my thinking, ... In my mind, if you haven't explored the spiritual landscape and found a piece of real estate that feels like home, then what are you waiting for? |
