The first half of the season is your preparation for district. Our main objective is No. 1 to win a district and that's our objective at the beginning of the year. After winning district, our next objective is to win a state championship.

Alicia is just like Elizabeth in that she has great command of her pitches. She works the corners really well and she throws a good rise ball.

The season has been going really well for us. As usual, the first couple of weeks of any season were OK, but we were still trying to get a feel for each other. We were trying to find out who was going to play where, but since we have figured it all out we have been playing really well. We have been hitting the ball pretty consistently.

We knew they have a quality pitcher. I knew they had the potential to be a good team as they played Sacred Heart tough before falling 4-1.

It was a well-played game between two very good teams. Both pitchers dominated, which is to be expected. They managed to get a walk and a runner in scoring position, then a passed ball to win the game.

They are doing a real good job of that right now. I expect it to be a tough final.
