We want to see minor league umpires working on the field rather than just warm bodies. Minor league umpires are the people that are trained to do the job and protect the integrity of the game. They're trained professionals.

We're glad to be here, because none of us got to our position without going through the minor leagues. We all understand what they're going through, and we support them. If it wasn't our crew here, it would be another crew.

He'd been disgruntled since the sixth inning, so it was time for him to go.

I think that's a big key, and it's been like that a lot for us. We try to generate some offense with our defense ... it's a lot more fun to shoot wide open lay ups than to shoot (while being guarded).

I thought we came together and played well as a team late in the season, and hopefully that will pay dividends next year. I thought we got closer to our potential, but we need to get over the hump.

I thought we had a good start to the game tonight. We definitely have been concentrating on coming out ready to play, and I thought we were.

I thought the kids really played hard, especially on defense. But Red Oak hit some shots to stay out in front.

We did not take care of the ball tonight.

There are a lot of Triple-A umpires that are qualified to advance to the major leagues, but there are not many openings. Those people need to be compensated. They're going to be excellent big league umpires, but you've got to give them something to keep them in the game.

We've played a lot of guys this year, we've kind of had to mesh some kids from different classes, 9-through-12. But we've been getting a lot of contributions from a lot of different guys.

To stay with Harlan you have to score points.

We've got a lot of kids who can play and who can come in and contribute, and that's been an advantage for us. Everyone understands their role.

Doug's got a scorer's mentality, and when he's on he's been pretty solid for us. It's kind of a unique situation having someone like that come off the bench, and it's a plus.

They took it to us pretty good in game one. I told the guys after that game that they kind of made a statement for the district, and we'd have to see how we'd progress throughout the year.

It's a good-sized development, so there'll be enough rough for a large number of tenants.

It's a very nice project, well designed and in a great location. We're happy with how it's turning out.

Being in Boca, we're conveniently right in the middle of the three areas that we tend to work at the most. It has a large role in why we've become a major player.

I'd really like to thank all four of the seniors, they've been a great group for us. Not just as basketball players ... they're also great kids.

And it's been the same for the last 10 years.
