couple innings kept putting seeing
Every couple of innings they kept putting in a new pitcher, so we were seeing something different.
battling character coming effort heavy kept kids kinda knew shot underdogs
What an effort by my kids. These kids kept battling and battling. We had a chance. We kinda showed what Olympus is all about. We've got a lot of character and heart. O We knew we were heavy underdogs coming in. We were under the radar, and we were one shot away from going to the championship.
brought coming couple energy fresh log main played starters
Our starters log a lot of minutes. At that time, we made a couple subs and we were fresh coming off the bench. The main thing we did was brought a lot of energy and played defense. A lot of times, that's all you need.
appears
It appears he went on a little rampage in the showroom.
came chance hurt last lead whereas year
This year we came back late, whereas last year we had the lead and they (the Knights) came back on us. We've been close, but that makes it hurt even more. I'd just like to have a chance to win.
bit
We get a little bit of everything here.
change course matter score threat whenever
Whenever we need some kind of big play to change the course of the game, we look for Crosby to do it. He's always a threat to score no matter where he has the ball.
bread heart huge
He's a stud. That's his bread and butter. He's got a huge heart.
base beach looked next pitch size took
The pitch before (the base hit) I took it. The next pitch looked like the size of a beach ball.
great heavy kids people plays prouder team though walker
Even though I'm on the other end of it right now, when kids make plays like that it's just special. It's awesome. Walker is a great player. They're a great team and a great program. We were heavy underdogs, but I think we showed people we can play. I couldn't be prouder of the kids.
both defense game great played teams
Both teams played great defense tonight. This was a game that went back and forth.
brought carried chance confidence defense game good handle last points talked
We just talked a little bit. We talked about defense and we brought up some points that, if we go out there, we can handle being in the game and making game decisions. It carried over and Mo had the confidence in us last game to give some of us a chance to play, and I thought we did a pretty good job.
anytime grinding hold played points proud seconds team win
I was so proud of the way we played defensively. Anytime you hold a team to 28 points you should win the game. You shouldn't be grinding it out with two seconds to go.
feels good move state ways won
Olympus has never won a state championship in 50-some-odd years, and we're still a ways from that, but it just feels good to move on.
