Before we voted, Coach asked is who we thought would lead us and represent us on and off the field. They are good leaders. They'll take over a practice if guys are screwing around.

We thought it was only fair they be here. They're playing on our team, they should come to our dance.

Gary was good when he was playing pee-wee with us so it was nice to get him back again. We didn't know Alex, but he's a good kid, he's a good athlete. It's always good to get good athletes.

I thought we could take something from last week's game. That gave us some experience in that situation. But I don't think we really wanted to go back into penalty kicks this soon.

I just thought it was a little nerves from the start; a lot of these guys have never raced in a stadium that big. Leonard stuck out his hand. Mardy held onto the stick tight, a little too tight. Leonard went to grab it and obviously had a good grip on it, and he was taking it out of Mardy's hand, and Mardy still wouldn't let go.

Overall, I thought it was a really well played game. For our first game, there were a lot of positives. We were getting on a pretty good pitcher and we had chances to score runs.
