The third game we laid back a little bit. We were not quite as inspired. We knew that they were going to try and tip and shoot the ball on us. It was a matter of getting our feet going.

Coach Byrne always comments that I'm like a coach out there. I love to help the underclassmen. I'll help them out by yelling things out. The coach will give instructions and sometimes because they're young, still they'll forget what to do. I'll just yell out reminders and stuff like that.

Lee Humphrey

Coach always does a great job of instilling confidence in me.

Lou Urbano

Any coach that graduated 11 kids isn't going to tell you they are ready to win the whole thing. If they do, they are crazy. We had a ton of holes to fill. We lost a lot of good players.

Ed Goble

Some people might say the coach should be expected to win championships for the salary you are paying him. These bonuses are market driven. All the other top coaches have them in their contracts, so you need to give your guy one, too.

Terry Goodson

I don't how to explain how I feel right now, I am pretty excited. The kids worked their butts off all week. They played four straight days and every day they have been at practice at 11:30 every day and worked for an hour and half. I am so proud of them. I think they wanted it more.

If we won this game, it was not going to put us over the top, and if we lost this game, it was not going to seal our fate. In our league, if you let one loss go into another, then you're in trouble. Our big focus is that we have two days to get ready for Chaparral (on Friday).

Jon Raker

We wanted to be .500 at worst at this point (of the season), and now we're three and five. That makes it an uphill battle. You make it tough on yourself when you score 10 runs in a game and don't win.

Brooklyn Heights itself is a window on the port.

When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn’t need to be a good reason.

But in the haze of infatuation, it’s just what you’ve been searching for all these years.
