Donnie Williams Guys Quotations

We're looking for Crowe, Wagner, Shelburne and Tingle to all have good a year. But it's going to take a while for some of these younger guys -- like Matthews, Siegel, Layton and all -- to get used to varsity pitching.

We were really happy with the weekend. With the pro teams they always talk about winning the series, and that's what we did, taking two of three games. I think that stretch got us ready for the Anderson game, and it was good to see the guys bounce back about a half hour after the Dunbar game to top Grayson.

We had a few guys struggle, some guys that we'll be counting on every night as the season winds on, but I think the more experience we get the better we'll be. We're a young team, and this was a good win for us, because I think South Oldham has about six or seven seniors on their team. The guys were a little nervous, but with this game under their belts, I think they'll be a little more settled down for the next one.

Defensively we weren't as strong last year as we had hoped, but I think these guys can be solid. It's something we've worked on a lot so far. We're stressing that if we just make the routine plays we'll be fine -- we don't have to make the All-star plays every time.
