I'd like to provide a place where the kids feel like it is their place.

My kids just stepped it up and finally shot the ball well. The biggest thing is that they just played hard.

I told the kids going into the sixth, ' You got to wreck it here. She's got a perfect game right now. There hasn't been any to reach [base].

The kids are resilient. This is a tough rivalry … this is a big thing. There was a lot of guts, and we weren't going to allow a close one go by again. I had no doubt in the dugout that we would score to win.

We're looking to get comfortably through April. As for May, we'll see. Last year, I made turns on this hill on May 15 on all-natural snow.

That's just a crazy idea, for a ski area to wait that long to have a grand opening, and we kind of get a kick out of it.
