ball field hardly kick sees three
As a freshman, she could hardly kick the ball 10 yards. Now she really sees the field well. She had three assists in our first two games. She hustles and she's a worker. She always has been.

It's good to have Huston back. He's an All-World pitcher.

It's frustrating. We don't want a bunch of trash here. We're always responsible ? make sure we clean up after ourselves.

adjusting break carry fly last mentally none pick ship time tired took veterans
It was kind of adjusting on the fly last year. There was not a lot of time to break yourself in, but our veterans were able to pick us up and carry us, or none of us would still be here the way we were going. I don't know if I was mentally tired or what, but it took me too long to adjust. My ship sunk too fast.

It seems like he gets the big hit every time we need them. He's been clutch when we've needed something. I can count a number of times this year when we've needed something and he's driven in runs.

It's a totally rebuilding year and we expect to take a lot of lumps.
It's not if, it's what should it look like?

This is a dream for me. I wasn't expecting to be called up to the big leagues.
age amazed attentive childhood children experience home hope kids last meaningful river since stones students teacher thank trip visited wonderful
A meaningful trip for all. I had not visited the home since age 12. I'm a new teacher at Stones River and can only hope the experience will last as long for our students as my childhood trip did for me. If our children don't know where we've been as a society, how can we know where we're going? I was amazed at how attentive our kids were. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
generate keeping pitching staff
It's been our pitching staff keeping us in these games. We really haven't been able to generate much offense.
mind numbing principal
Does the principal go through my garbage? The implications of this are mind numbing and infinite.
