We're really going to be young this year. We lost eight seniors, and five of those are playing in college this year. We may take some lumps early, but we're optimistic and we've got a lot of potential.

Briana is using it to go to college. I am probably, in a year and a half, going to the graduate school.

He doesn't look to me like he just came out of college. He's going to be a big plus for us.

We're looking for Crowe, Wagner, Shelburne and Tingle to all have good a year. But it's going to take a while for some of these younger guys -- like Matthews, Siegel, Layton and all -- to get used to varsity pitching.

This was a good win. Anytime we play Anderson County it's a rivalry, and we've got to be focused and ready to go. I felt like we had that [Tuesday]. Now we've got a chance to take the district, but we've got to take care of business.

That was his best outing. And the most impressive thing is, he continues to improve every time out. But I told him he can't be satisfied with it. Hopefully he can use this game and continue to improve.
