I've just kind of gotten a little more confidence with each at bat, and the coaches are working with me; it feels great to get some big hits.

We were talking before the game that today would be a good day to hit (a home run). The wind was going the right direction.

I was just working hard and trying to get runs across throughout the game.

Gary has definitely instilled a lot of confidence in the team this year.

I think that we have more confidence now because we got so far (last year). I think if we make the changes to the mistakes that we did – the little things in the last regional final – then we're going to be an awesome team.

I think this is great. Beating Riverside gives us more confidence that we can go far and win district.
