Mark Peterson Quotations

We struggle to stay away from one bad inning. When we get that figured out where we can do that, we'll be all right.

We did fairly well. Everybody won two matches except for one guy. That's usually one of our goals. I just like coming to this tournament because of the competition that we get. Even though we might take some losses for our record it'll pay off in the long run come tournament time at the end of the year.

Self-motivation is the difference this season. I go out and throw strikes and don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I just try to play and have fun.

Maybe the weather was just so hot it didn't feel like summer was over yet. I don't know.

Now that we've got an idea about what teaching openings we have, that's one of the nice things when your school district is growing. You have the opportunity to bring teachers in, because there's a demand there. Obviously we want a quality teacher and a quality coach.

He was just pulling upsets left and right. He took care of the one, two and three seeds. You couldn't ask for a better day.

This was a game that we thought we obviously had to have. It kind of keeps us in the hunt a little bit.

It came up about a year ago. The idea is to improve dialogue.

I watched the way he prepared himself before games. Before I saw Colton I never went to the outfield before to long toss or run before games. Now, I have my own routine before I pitch.

Penalties and turnovers hurt us and we're at the point where we have to get better or start to slide a bit. Our kids have a positive attitude and will use it to go on into the right direction.

Our youth showed tonight. We gave them the ball in good field position and they took advantage. If we hadn't done that, then we could have stayed with our game plan and stayed in the game.

Paul Warner's a great guy. Everybody likes Paul Warner. But he votes wrong every time it comes to family issues. He says it has to do with limited government and that ideology. His ideology gets in the way of families in our neighborhoods.

Spenser is probably one of the hardest working kids on the team and he definitely deserved to go.

Marshall Kennedy is swinging the bat well for us. It was nice to see him get a home run. Drew Swenson, that was a bomb he hit. Drew is a very good hitter. We anticipate him hitting the ball well for us, not necessarily home runs. We anticipate him hitting the ball well for us. That did not surprise me at all. It was nice to see more than one or two guys hit the ball well for us.

I was happy we were in the hunt and we finished ahead of Kewaskum because they beat us in the duals.

I think defensively, we've been playing better as of late.

I think for the most part, we stayed patient and got the pitches we wanted.

I think Jeff has been doing a good job.

That was nice to see. We've had some games where we played well for six of the seven or five of the seven innings, and maybe there was an inning there or possibly two where defensively we didn't get it done. I thought today we played well.

We got down and maybe pressed a little bit. It kind of snowballed from there.

We've got sales stuff up at the front of the store that's just kind of flying. We've got sales stuff in the middle of the store that's just going. We got a whole bunch of new Star Wars stuff, all kinds of new games, and it's just flying off the shelves.

We haven't made those errors in four games. That's made a huge difference. Our pitchers are pitching well and we are playing good defense behind them.

We set a goal at the start of week to be 3-0. We accomplished that goal. It puts us back in the hunt.

We definitely talked about that. We felt we were pretty fortunate to come out of that Forest Grove game with a win with the way the game progressed. To come out with a win, it should have jump-started us for this week. We definitely talked about that with these guys. I was pleased with the approach today that they came in with. We were able to jump on them early.

Walkup's an incredible player to do what he did to keep them in it.

We were really pleased with Chad Jones. He threw really well. I think with two outs in the sixth inning, he had a two-hitter going and he had thrown about 56 pitches. He pitched extremely well as he has basically done the whole year. Today we were able to give him run support which we haven't done.

We kicked it around and didn't handle bunt defense really well. As a coach, that's a little frustrating to me because we spend an awful lot of time on it. It didn't look that way today.

We've had a lot of breaks go against us this year. Even in this game over there, we did not play well defensively. We gave them some extra outs and it led to their first run.

You have to give Canby credit. They put the ball in play and put pressure on us and we didn't make plays.

We've been so close so often. We finally earned one. Maybe we brightened it up for Sam Rayburn.

We hit the ball much better. It wasn't one or two guys. It was throughout the lineup. We had quality at-bats.

We don't want Rock Canyon (Elementary) to die the way Wasatch nearly died and Joaquin did die.

We're very impressed with the multi-service flexibility, performance, and outstanding voice quality of Convedia's media server products. Convedia's Media Servers were a natural fit to improve the underlying media processing capabilities of our media resource product suite. And with their use of open standards-based SIP control interfaces, we've been able to quickly and easily integrate their technology into our next-generation product portfolio. We're looking forward to utilizing Convedia's Media Servers in a number of our largest IP telephony infrastructure opportunities.

Realistically, we were trying to get the bunt down and (Glover) fouled the first one off and it ended up being a good break for us, it turns out.

It seems to be from top to bottom. Today we didn't hit as well as we have from top to bottom from the last couple of games, but we've had guys that are coming through for us.

It seems to relax them a little bit. They get out front early and they are not pressing.

It's a sign of the quality of education in this state AP courses are a fairly inexpensive way for kids to get college credit.

It was a real gutsy performance by him. We brought him in on two days rest. We very, very seldom do that. His pitch count was low at Dallas. We thought he would come back and we would ride him as long as we could. We had guys ready to go. He felt good. He had his best stuff that we've seen all year. He threw exceptionally well.

It was an awful big win for us. I'm hoping it jump-starts us a little bit for next week. If we have a good week and happen to get two or three wins, we're in real good shape after the first round.

It's the only real pure American style of architecture.

That made us nervous. Were the students going to show up the next week? They did.

It seemed like Glover got us started in a few innings. He's swinging the bat well for us now. Both Jones' hit the ball well for us. Even guys who we made substitutions for, guys who came off the bench, they swung the bat really well. They were able to continue to add on.

It was nice to see these guys swing the bat a little bit better. To be on this side, it's a little bit more fun than being on the other side when we were at Canby. That wasn't any fun at all.

It was a 4-3 match and he lost. But for a sophomore to wrestle a senior that close, we're very pleased with his performance.

I wanted to make sure they got an inning as a workout. Both those guys might be playing on Wednesday. We haven't decided who is going to start in that game. We wanted to make sure they got one inning of work in this game situation.

This is like a state tournament for some guys that will never experience the state tournament because of the amount of teams and quality they will face up here.

I probably started getting recognized with the Prospects over the summer. Summer is different. It's more challenging because you're going against teams that have the top-rated guys in the country.

The game was a little bit closer than what we thought. We ended up going with him for five innings. He threw extremely well.
