Our defense has been solid. It's basically the mainstay of our team. Our offense is usually right there with it, but, again, today we struggled a little bit with our offense.

We woke up in the second quarter. The kids really steeped it up and played super defense tonight, right when we needed it.

Our quickness on defense caused them problems. We're playing our best basketball right now.

We don't face that kind of pitching. It took three days' practice to try to get it down, and we still struggled.

We're good with the good pitchers. I'm assuming we're going to see some good pitchers with JFK of Buffalo. So, I feel confident going in. We've just got to get back in the batting cage and turn it up to 70 mph.

This was a potent offense, but our defense made some nice plays and kept hitting hard. I was really happy to see that we kept playing them tough in the second half. Stagg has been known in the past for tough defenses, and I think it will be the same this year.
