best came credit kids offensive open output point run tight year
We came out with our best offensive output of the year in the first quarter. We had a 12-0 run to open the game. From that point on it was a tight game. You've got to give a lot of credit to the kids from Odessa. They battled right to the end.
five healthy kept lost memorable pack people point program run season section straight together wins
At one point in the season we lost five straight games. I think at that point most people in the section thought we were done. We didn't pack it in. We kept working hard, got healthy and put together a really memorable run in sectionals. We equaled the most wins our program has ever had in sectionals.
allowed earned runs season
If you look at the season stats, we're about even (with opponents) in hits, but in earned runs we've actually allowed fewer. But we are way up in errors.
emerged giving great guy riding second
What he did great after that first inning was get the first and second guy out before giving up that hit. He's really emerged as the ace, and we're going to keep riding him.

We feel like you did the right thing in appointing a planning commission.

Money, the root of all evil... but the cure for all sadness.

She hit two threes that really hurt us.
defense settled today wins
Like I always say, defense wins games. Today once we settled down, we made a lot of big plays.
broke coming kept santa wish
I wish we could have put them away a little earlier, but Santa Fe put up a fight, man. We never broke their spirit. They just kept coming at us with a lot of heart.
attack balanced couple hurt stunned
She's kind of spearheaded a real nice, balanced attack for us. Without that front-runner for us, it hurt a little bit. I think it stunned us for a couple of minutes.
game seen since
I've never seen a game like this. Well, not since I was like 10.
bring games hope playing ready reality streak sure
Sometimes when you get on a streak where you're playing well one of these games will bring you back to reality and get you back on track. I sure hope that's the case, because we did not look ready to play today.
asked backed eye hesitation looked teammates took
I looked him in the eye and asked if he wanted it, and without hesitation he said yes. He wanted it, and he took it, and as teammates they backed him up.
armor definitely districts games high hope kids remember school simple though
In districts it's going to come down to defense, it's as simple as that. We definitely have some chinks in our armor that we have to get fixed, but you have to remember that even though we're 17 games into the season, these are still high school kids and we still have to coach. You just hope they get it soon.
