Quotes and Notes


Winning coach, Doug Furlow,Williamsville, " Our kids are quicker than they give themselves credit for. We have trouble waiting back, our style is being aggressive. I like our chances tommorrow because we have 3 legitimate pitchers."


Losing coach, Kirk Houchin, Seneca," I had myself prepared to lose. They got the hits when they needed them, and we didn't. Our pitcher normally has 1 bad inning."
