That helps you want it more. Some of these guys were with us late in the season and they got an idea of what it was like, so that should help.

That's been our Achilles' heel all year and it did us in tonight. One of the first things written on the blackboard was limiting turnovers. We obviously didn't do that.

We didn't execute very well. I have not done a good job in getting us to where we're executing well enough and I thought that made the difference. Then we went to the foul line and we're [6-15] and we lose by nine. But this was a good tournament for us and we felt good about getting to the finals.

It was a situation that offered something to each of us, in terms of our own desires just to get better on our instruments, or to learn more about music. And I think we all found room to do that in this group.

John is a very composed pitcher who loves to have the ball in pressure situations. He enjoys competing at the highest level. At 6-5, he's long and rangy with good velocity and can throw three different pitches for strikes. He's not afraid to throw breaking balls when he's behind in the count.

We're primarily a junior-oriented team, but we feel we can compete at the varsity level.
