This was a fun game to watch. There were some exciting plays and just good competitive baseball. I thought we could have pushed across a few more runs, but we played good enough to win.

There's a lot of competition for these spots. I think every player understands that there are two or three players that could easily take their spot, so it's got to make them work harder. It's also going to make us more able to absorb injuries than we were at this time last year.

Other than that inning, we didn't play too badly. I thought the first six innings were very promising for us. Billy Darryl Grant pitched well again and we got an opportunity to face three Dunbar pitchers who would be among the best in our region.

He's definitely one of the top pitchers in the region. But after facing the tough pitcher we saw at Louisville Eastern, I thought we'd do a better job against him. You'd think that with that many hits, including a couple of homers that we could win this game. But the theme of our season continues... not making the plays.

It's so important at the high school level to be able to get the ball over the plate. This staff will win some games if they continue to do that.

Jake pitched a great game. It's a shame we let them back in it. It's good that Tyler was able to get his first win because he showed that he can bounce back from a bad inning. That's pretty good for an eighth grader.

I wanted our team to be pressed some this year. We have some tough stretches in our schedule this year, but I think we can still pull out 15 to 20 games this year.

I think some of our players have the jitters out in the field. It's the first year of varsity for several of them and some of our veterans are showing a little rust coming out of basketball. We were lucky that the seven errors didn't really hurt us that much. Normally, when you have that many mistakes you're going to lose the game.

I'm really happy with our pitching right now. We had a few defensive lapses, but you have to expect that this early. We didn't hit the ball well, but we did have some timely hitting. That's something we didn't have all year last year.
