COACH COMMENTS:  "A very frustrating way to finish the season.  We just made too many mistakes when the game was on the line.  I'm proud of the way the guys battled back late in the game but we just didn't put ourselves in a very good situation to be successful tonight.  We'll miss Travis and Clayton and wish them the best.  They have been intrical parts of the rise of this program over the last four years.  Hopefully some of our young guys can mature and continue the building process here and we'll attempt another go around next season." - Coach Ricky Romans

COACH COMMENTS:  "I'm very pleased with the way we competed tonight and worked hard to come out on top.  Brownstown really pushed us and forced us to execute late to pull out the win.  We've been able to get some momentum going over the last couple of weeks which has been good for our confidence going into Sectional play.  I'm real happy with the way the guys have matured and started playing team ball." - Coach Ricky Romans

COACH COMMENTS:  "We played a real good team pretty well for most of the game.  We hurt ourselves with the numerous strikeouts but still battled and competed to give ourselves a chance.  Cam ran out of gas a little late and they capitalized on some opportunities to put the game away like good teams always do.  We just need to bounce back on Saturday - Coach Ricky Romans
