They were not overwhelming at all. We played terrible.

It takes about six to eight weeks of physical conditioning before a player can really throw hard for a seven-inning duration where the pitcher is throwing 70 to 100 pitches hard.

Dan really came into his own pitching last year (during Legion play). He received the sportsmanship award during the regional tournament.

Offensively the first game we just crushed the ball.

Early I don't think he (Picket) had all of his stuff and also he didn't get to warm up properly.

We had six errors in the first game and five in the second. I was really disappointed. We never had an opportunity to put a whole bunch of plays together. They hit well and we made bad pitches.

This will make us more competitive for Legion. Hopefully it (club season) will take off and more kids will want to play. I think it will put the hook into the younger kids.

We played well in Rapid City last Sunday.

We have some kids who want to use this high school season and the Legion baseball as a springboard for college. I think high school baseball will afford colleges to recruit during the school year.

I would like him to play. Mike would be an asset to the team no doubt. He really came into his hitting last year and it would be nice to have him at the 3, 4, or 5 hole.
