birthday bit coming cutting dixie fastball flat game huge needed win winning
This was my birthday present. Winning the game was all I really wanted. It was a cutting fastball a little bit over the plate. It was a huge win after (Friday). We were real flat coming back from (playing) Dixie State. We needed a win to get us on a roll.

Billings sucks, dude. It's so far away, and everybody was coming from Missoula anyway, so it made more sense to do something closer to home.
beat black coming full good handled hills knew matter oh second team
Oh yeah, for sure. Just for our guys, really. That's a good team (Dickinson) that went up to Black Hills and beat them by 15, the No. 1 team in the conference, and we handled them in the second half. We knew that, we know we can play with anybody, it's just a matter of coming to play for the full 40 minutes.

From our perspective, we want to support the baseball classic but it's actually a plus for us he's coming here on March 1 and not going there, but we haven't asked him not to play. I think it's going to work out very well.

This was a great way for us to send our seniors out. It was a close meet and a total team effort. When it came down to it the team really supported each other whether it was in the pool or not. Everyone contributed today. This meet will definitely help prepare us for the upcoming conference championship.

The only thing the Sunderland players wanted to do was kick people. We can play football but some of the tackles in the second half were clearly not for the ball.
