SENIOR PLAYER COMMENTS
“… We started out slow against Mingo Central and fell behind early, but we finally started putting the bat on the ball and didn’t make many mistakes after the first few innings. We had to come back and got a good win against them.”
“… We never could get things going against West Carter. They hit the ball really well both games and the wind was tough to deal with. We look to bounce back Monday against Teays Valley Christian.”
