Pat Kelley Quotations

He never quit. He was determined today. From the second game on, he was locked in.

That first game set a tough tone for us. We expected to pull that one out when we were in position to, but St. Bernard's is a very disciplined team and they play well together. They never wavered and you have to give kudos to them.

We didn't play good defense and didn't hit. You can't win ball games like that. We couldn't get anybody on base. All we can do now is keep on working and improving.

They provide our leadership on the floor. They were out there the whole night and I think the kids respond to that kind of effort.

It's wonderful to play them, not just because of the rivalry, but because of how well we seem to match up. Both teams were fired up and we obviously wanted to win at our house.

He's one of the quietest on the team, but his ball is very explosive. That's his personality, and that's the most I've seen him smile and talk in my years coaching him.
