It's something that will be good for Ozark and good for Troy. Hopefully we can reach out to the fan base there.
baseball city clinic enjoyed good hope hopefully kids nice program
I hope they enjoyed our baseball team. We had a very nice clinic for young kids that went well. It was a good day for our program and a good day hopefully for the city of Ozark.
appreciate coaches counts finish knows program respect season shown stock
I never put much stock in preseason polls, especially when it is the first season in a new conference. I appreciate the respect shown our program by the other coaches in the league, but everyone knows it is where you finish the season that counts the most.
handled hope program senior
I like the way he handled the whole thing. I want him to be a part of the program and to go out as a senior the right way. I hope he makes us proud.
best good time
Any time they can get to Best (they're in a good position). He is outstanding.
ball coming good hit knew score series start team
It was good to see our team start to hit the ball up and down the lineup. We knew coming into this series that we would have to score some runs, and this was a good start to the weekend.
continued hit sharp throw trouble walks
The walks and hit batsmen continued to keep him in trouble. He was not as sharp as he has been in his first two games, but he didn't throw that bad. You can't put it all on him.
again believes couple early games kids kinds last ourselves several team trouble win
We got ourselves into some trouble early in the game, but once again these kids showed that they never give up. We have had several of these kinds of games over the last couple of weeks, and this team believes it is going to win every time.
bat exactly far fully trying
We're trying to get another bat or two going. We're trying to solidify things and this early, it doesn't exactly have to be fully solidified, but we're not as far as I'd like to be.
defense good gotten hold wish
Everything we could have wanted out of Clegg, we got. I wish we could have gotten him the win, but we didn't play good enough defense to hold it.
alabama beating beginning believe finally four guess high level saying stick team telling
We've been telling our team for four years that if they'd stick with the plan, we'll be able to play at a high level of baseball. I guess after beating Alabama and Auburn in a week's time, they're finally beginning to believe what we've been saying is the truth.
ben both guys handled kid man married seems takes
That takes someone from being a young man to being a man. The guys who I've had that have had a kid or been married or both have handled it well, and Ben seems to be doing the same thing.
ball continued early good happy hit pitch positive scholars-and-scholarship ugly whether
I don't know whether to be happy or sad. This was an ugly, ugly game. The positive is that we continued to hit the ball well, but we didn't play very good defense, and we didn't pitch very well early in the game.
coaches deciding hard league placing players sure time
I am sure the other coaches in the league had a hard time deciding where to place our players on the All-Conference team, just as I did placing theirs.
