Tom's probably the second-highest ranking guy in town right now. Seriously, though, he does a great job. He's always got as many things going on as he can for a town this size.

Out of his last three starts, this was his best performance. We've got to have him now through the playoffs.

Any time you're ranked that high, it puts a bull's eye on you. But recognition like that comes with having a good season, and I think our kids have handled it real well.

I'm not sure, but we had something like 130 points while St. X had around 120 and Trinity 105. It was a real good meet for us. I told the kids coming in I thought we had a chance to win it and we just had some excellent performances.

I thought last year's probably was tougher, but we couldn't get some of those teams this year. Our phone hasn't been ringing off the hook.

He had a real good fastball and good location. He stayed primarily with his fastball.
