Rick Branaghan Quotations

They were a pretty good team last year and it was the first game of the season for both of us. They won their conference last season. They wanted to come back up and play us. It's a good challenge. We're looking forward to it.

It was a nice win against Heath. I told the girls that it would be a good team to play. It was a nice challenge. I'm glad we came back. We lost a little confidence with our bats for a couple of days. We're still a young team and they have to be able to fight through that.

I expected we would be able to compete during this first week and get ready for the season, but I'm certainly very pleased. I can't say that I'm surprised. We certainly know we have a long way to go and a lot of work in front of us, but they are playing nice and relaxed and are having fun. We've been getting great pitching and timely hitting, and extremely strong defense.

I'm hoping we come back sharp. We've been able to work on some things.
