Both the players and the coaches look forward to this game. It is nice to get a win over a rival, and especially considering the type of baseball program that Juan Diego has now. This is a big boost for our team.

We come out and we hit the ball. The guys are swinging it pretty good so far. Give us a little more time to get used to being outside, and I think the offense can keep us in games even if the pitching struggles a little bit.

I think we will be a little bit more consistent this year. We have the good core, and if the other guys step up, we can make the playoffs.

If I had to say the one reason I think we will be all right it would be our experience. We have some great seniors that will provide the type of leadership we need to succeed.

It is a really big deal to throw strikes in high school baseball. Walks are so big, and it was nice that we didn't give them up. Our guys really threw well. If we can just keep it up, I think we can have a good year.
