according against beat game heads judges last people program state turned win year
I think that's what kind of turned people's heads last year, when we got down to that last game last year and were able to get a win against those guys. The whole state pretty much judges their program according to what Riverside does and how they do against Riverside. If you can beat Riverside, people take notice.
athletes ball baseball best brad caught charlie far goes kid seen van
With Brad van Hoff in center, if the ball goes up, it's pretty much caught out there. The kid can run. Charlie Carter's one of the best athletes I've seen around here at Eastside, as far as all-around baseball players. He can do it all.

The expectations are probably higher than they've ever been around here as far as baseball's concerned. Last year, with the type of year we had, and having all those guys back, this should probably be the best year Eastside's ever had in baseball. There's no reason why it shouldn't be.

coming gave great knew mound separation settle strong third
That third inning was huge. We were up 1-0. It kind of gave us a little separation and let us settle down a little bit. We knew that Campbell, coming in, that he was going to be strong off the mound for us. He showed that he was. He's an all-region player, and he did a great job.
battery bullets extra happened hit shot
It just happened that the day that I was shot that I actually did have that extra battery still in my pouch, and so one of the bullets actually hit a battery, as if it was probably going for my heart.
believe calm car cool forever four further green head instructed iraqi nature police pull save
It was his cool nature and calm head which instructed the Iraqi police to, you know, take me to the Green Zone, which was able to pull me out of the car and save me from further bullets. Believe me, four was plenty. And for that I'll forever be in his debt.
At first, I thought it was a prank.

It's the top of the line. If you can play down there, then you've made a statement. It's just a credit to these players. They've earned it. They've brought this program a long way in four years. It's good to see they're getting to play in tournaments like the IP. It's gonna be a thrill for us to be down there.
