I showed up at 9 and at about 10 the hail started coming down. About 11: 30 or 12 we started seeing clearing past the trees in left field. Our kids got there at 11 and they were bundled up. We took (batting practice) and they didn't want any part of that.

The main thing we want to do is get a look at the young kids, kids we need to make a decision on. This is going to be do or die for some of them. It's a chance to practice against somebody else. That's all.

We've had two good practices. We had a hard practice on Tuesday. It was before the match, but we had to get some weight off.

It was pretty similar to last week, but the mistakes were in different events. Pretty much all of us brought out our routines (from practice), which all of us had trouble with in competition.

We definitely have a real good shot to beat them now that we've started to figure out everything with our routine construction. All we need to do is go out there and perform how we've done in practice and we should come out on top.

Ryan exposed all that kid's weaknesses. Like last night in practice, after everyone else is gone, he put five minutes on the clock and was running sprints. You don't know about a lot of that stuff, but that's why he's wrestling so well right now.

We normally don?t get to practice outside in January, and our first tournament of the spring is usually the first time the guys see grass. I think this is a huge advantage for them because now they feel more confident about their swings going into the first tournament.

This tournament has traditionally been a good one for us. I think the break was good for the guys, because they did not have to focus on their academics, and we were able to arrive here earlier, which gave us more time to practice on the West Coast.

You hope they'd have to coach that,.. Just like a team that gives you a funky look on defense. We're going to do the same things, moving Arnaz around and do different things with him, so they have to deal with<br/> that in practice. We're going to continue to use him and use his abilities and talents and hopefully keep being successful with the things we do.

[Jones] doesn't quite have his wind back. He had his first good practice since the injury three days ago. He's almost there.

There are graffiti gurus who do scenes and multiple colors. These folks will practice their art expertise before applying it for public view. They believe they are artists in their own culture.

We are focused and prepared. The older guys know that it isn't going to be an easy road, but we are taking the right steps and pushing ourselves harder [in practice and conditioning] than ever before.

I haven't been in a game for a year. You're not just going to take a run at batting practice and jump into a game,.. Quite honestly, [to play] would be for selfish reasons.

When we unloaded on Friday for practice I felt we were going to be OK, but the tires fall off so fast here it's hard to tell if you're getting better or not. We didn't get enough time to practice in qualifying trim so it's hard to judge your times against the others. These cars get really loose when you tape them up, so we tried to be smart when we qualified, although the 40.85 it was a little slower than what we expected. We just missed the set-up by a little, but this place is so fast, you can't be off much and have a drivable car.

I don't think our system is that hard. Obviously, there are some other pass protection things, but really these (practice) days we've got before we start will be like training camp to him (Benson).

He was about to become a starter. He's just 6-foot-1, but he plays bigger than that. He just landed on someone's foot during a scrimmage in practice. The scary thing is he's had injures before and you hope it's not something that's going to keep popping up.

A lot of us are looking for our first win together at the varsity level. We try not to get them too excited about it in practice.

I would definitely say our singles players are the strength of our team. They have really been great in practice and they obviously did a real nice job today.

Where it was once de rigueur to wear a tie in New York's finer establishments, that practice is now de rigor mortis.

We've got to work on our shooting when we get back to practice.

There's definitely no time to sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. What we've preached to the kids in practice is that sometimes a mistake can happen, but you always have to be looking to learn from that and come back stronger.

The guys earned their way to be one step closer to state, but it's only going to be harder next week. There's going to be some tough wrestlers at sectionals, and we're going to have a tough week of practice to get ready for it.

The hard work is pretty much over right now. They need to keep working hard in practice and have faith that things will work out at the end of the season.

I told the younger guys before the game, we've got a long break coming up. I said we had to give it our all. If we'd lost this game, we'd have had a rough week of practice.

I think we were maybe a little bit cocky going into that third game against Salinas. But overall I'm fairly pleased. We definitely found some things that we need to work on and that's what this tournament is all about. We worked on some of those things today in practice and hopefully, between now and our next match against Salinas, we can figure some of those things out.
