When seniors stick around and they don't drop by their freshman year, you have the chance to have a pretty good team.

It's been over by the first day before, and it might still be over. Your kids can still get pins in the semis and finals to help the score, though.

It was a team win. All seven seniors placed and we had a lot of kids place higher than where they were seeded. I'm very proud.

We were both cheering against each other. But as close as it was, you had to do that. You don't really like to cheer against another team, but when (Stafford won), the feeling was indescribable.

I had to be off by myself. I didn't want to be in that group because I knew they would go crazy. I was just pacing and trying to act calm.

Nobody wants to be the oldest guy in the clubhouse, but everybody has their role. Everybody has their chance. It's like I tell them: As long as you've got a uniform on, you've always got a chance to play in the major leagues. It's not a big jump from here.
