He's got 50-something varsity games under his belt. He's seen a lot of quality varsity pitching.

We have to play a much more intelligent game then what we played the last three games. We've been sloppy for three straight games now and you can't hope to win at this level making those types of mistakes.

This is one of the biggest games of the season. We just have to come out, play our game, limit our turnovers, and play under control.

The kids are ready for this one. Games like this are what you play for. It's the same old Stanhope. They've got a good running game. They can throw it when they need to and they play good defense. Our guys know what to expect and what it will take to win.

This is just to get the kids ready to play. It's not about the score of the games. We want the boys to learn what they can from this. It helps the coaches see where we're at and what we need to be working on.
