We weren't prepared today. Pine Crest was better prepared mentally and physically, and if we play this way [today] we are going to be in trouble. We needed more offense.

We play teams that are much tougher and you can get injuries and not win a state title because of that. It only hurt us once in my 14 years here, when we played seven games in 10 days in Cocoa.

If we can just get the ball in play, we're fine. And that's what we did today.

We wanted to play well today.

I'm glad how the kids responded and came to the ballpark today ready to play. It was a solid effort on our part to play a first-place team and keep us in the thick of the race.

None of the pharmacists I had spoken to were looking forward to today.
