Hope Quotations | Page 8

We're going to head off to some big camps and tournaments this summer and get a lot of work in at the gym. We're very happy that the community supported us the way they did this year. Hopefully we'll come back next year and improve upon what we've established this season.

We're going to have to take a different approach to it and hope we pick the right offense against their defense.

We're going to have to play well and keep getting better. We want to make a run at the end of the year, so we have to use these games to prepare ourselves for that. Hopefully we can win them in the process. We're going to go after them.

We're going to have to play better than we did tonight. Jackson, they looked probably better than anybody in the tournament out there tonight. I coached under (Jackson coach) Darrin (Scott) at Notre Dame. I know how good of a coach he is, how well he prepares and so hopefully my boys can outplay his boys. That's what it's going to come down to.

We're going to have to get after it. Hopefully we get some guys on base and get some counts and situations where we can get some guys started here because I think it's going to be an important part of our offense.

We're going to have to find some different ways to score because of that, but we'll still attack. We hope to score as much as we did last year.

We're in a legal proceeding with the players' association and the Eagles and the management council. We hope it doesn't come to that. I certainly hope, as a result of this, we'll hear from the Eagles and they'll welcome him back.

We're talking about a basic violation of the Constitutional guarantee of a free press as well as a violation of the rights of privacy of American citizens. I had hoped we would have learned our lessons from the Nixon era. Sadly, it appears we have not.

We started four sophomores and a freshman. So that will definitely help us as far as having players back. We'll come back and hopefully we will have matured, because that was our biggest thing. There should be more parity next year, and that will have different teams in the mix.

We started being patient and we hit the ball and did the things that we had to do to score runs. This is one of those games that you hope to learn from.
