I knew it was going to end this year, so I'd rather it end now and concentrate on (the) rest of (the) season. We open league play Thursday, and the bull's-eye is finally off our chest.

St. Helena played a great game. They're going to do well. They are a much improved team from years past.
game past team great
St. Helena has a lot of confidence. They're playing good baseball. We had to put a number up in the first inning to put doubt in their mind. I don't know if we necessarily put doubt in their mind but it set the tempo for us.
doubt mind confidence good baseball
We need to be fundamentally sound. We need to throw strikes and play catch defensively to be successful.
sound successful play
They know what's at stake. They know what we're all about, so we never have to talk about the winning streak and our goals. They know what our goals are, and our goals are to win championships. We don't talk about the streak. We just feel like that if we go out and we prepare ourselves fundamentally that we will win baseball games.

No excuses. We played as well as we could have. St. Bonaventure just played better.

We take all comers. We won't back down to anyone. They proved they were the No. 1 team in the state for Division IV. I think we're right there with them. All streaks come to an end.
division end team state
rest end play open
We didn't go down easy. I think the kids were feeling the pressure, because every one was coming after us.

I figured we'd take on all challengers. I was hoping it would come down to (the St. Bonaventure) game, and it measured up to all of the hype.

He struggled early on as a sophomore offensively, but defensively he's been as smooth as any shortstop I've had. He's really a great defensive shortstop. Now, he's made himself into a better hitter, a better offensive player. He can do it all. He can run, he can throw, he can catch. He's very smart and he's a great hitter now.
