One game in this region could be the matter of going to the state tournament or sitting home and watching it, so this was a big win for us.

He's a great hitter, and he's got that kind of pop in his bat.

Whenever he's had proper rest, he just flat out pitches for us. He was hitting his spots, and he mixed it up real well. To shut out a team like Spanish Fork is really getting the job done.

When we come to play with enthusiasm, and we're all together, we're a pretty good team.

He's (Smith) a good pitcher. We know he's one of the top three pitchers in the state. We know he's a competitor because of what he did to us in last year's state tournament. He worked ahead all game long. We just didn't adjust as hitters.

He's been solid all year for us in middle relief, and he came in and got the job done again today.
