It was very windy and tough to play, but our kids all played well that day. We've had three different guys shoot par or better now and a couple others are only a shot or two behind, so that's pretty good stuff.

We didn't play well. It's too early in the season to be flat the way we were.

Josh threw strikes and we made the plays in the field behind him.

Next week will tell us a lot about our team. It's too early to say right now how good we're going to be, but we've got some experienced players back, some pleasant surprises from some new guys and a team with a good attitude.

They tied Allen Park in their match, but won it on a fifth-man tie-breaker. They're still a really good team, but our kids are figuring out that, if you play really well, you win, no matter who you're playing.

We're going to play 11 or 12 kids every day, so it's not like we'll have three or four kids on the bench just waiting until next year — everybody's going to have to contribute. That's what has made it fun so far.
