PLAYER’S COMMENTS
“… Being the one seed is huge. We have some competitive teams in our district, so giving ourselves our best chance to win come the end of May is big time.”
“… With Boedy ( Maynard ) on the bump for us there wasn’t a doubt in our mind that if we come out the gate and do our jobs, he’ll do his.”
“… We’ve spent our time this offseason putting in the work. Our guys are starting to realize what they can do with a bat in their hands. We have a team that pushes each other to succeed and loves to see it when we do.”
