Robert Luckadoo Quotations

I was very frustrated with the errors at the end, but it happens to the best of them.

After a shaky first inning, the team really relaxed and fell in behind Wiley with some defense and made the plays I know this team is capable of. Every single person on this team contributed. This is what it takes to win - a team effort.

They (Alexander) came here expecting us to just bow down because of their reputation. Their coach and their team thrives on intimidation, but we weren't intimidated. Our ladies played their hearts out. In the last four innings, we looked like two heavyweight fighters going blow for blow in the ring.

This is a such a tough way to lose a game. It goes back to the point I have been trying to make with this team all season. The game is not over until the third out of the last inning is complete.

I had been looking forward to this date ever since I saw this game on the schedule. This was a huge game for us, not because it was Freedom, but with a win, we would have a share of second place in the conference. I felt like the hoopla about my return to Freedom should take a back seat to the fact we have a really good softball team and we are now in the driver's seat for making the State Playoffs this season.

I can't say enough about the outstanding play of our team. We came ready to play. I'm proud of out team; we keep getting better every game. If we keep working and keep focused, we'll be hard to beat by playoff time.

We lost one we should have won. We just let our guard down, lost our focus in the seventh inning and watched it slip away.

Those balls would have been long outs on another day. Our pitchers pitched pretty well. They (Alexander) just got the ball up in the wind and it carried out.

We are really a good team, and I have no doubt we will work through these struggles and be ready for conference play. I love these kids. They have a lot of heart. They just have to learn that when they step onto the field, they have to be focused and ready to play.

We are playing this thing one game at a time right now. We have three really tough games remaining. We took care of business today. We just have to stay focused and continue to win.
