A.J. was real solid. I was worried about his minutes. I tried to give him a couple of breaks. Every time we took him out, we had to get him back in there. It was tough having to play him (40) minutes. It was an absolute necessity for us.

I guess he's on a different page. I ran well yesterday and I ran well today. I don't know anything about it.

I know what they're going through. It's a difficult situation. It looks good on paper, but it doesn't always work that way. When they made the deal, I thought they were going to be more athletic. They scare me to death because they have talent. Who knows, they can win one or two games and then win five or six in a row. That's what happened to us.

I'm never satisfied. They're doing well, but we've got a ways to go. Our goal is to get back to the final four. We finished second last year and we want to do at least that well. We have to have some experience under pressure before sectionals. We've had it at spots, but team pressure like against Center Grove is the best thing for us.

I'm going to do what I can to win, and if it's not good enough, they'll tell me, ... But there's a big difference. This year, if we do well and I can get this team to win, it's my choice what I want to do at the end of the year. It's nobody else's. This isn't just a one-way street here.

Dara has been swinging the bat real well, hitting the ball real hard. She's trying to get some good at-bats. She went with the pitch for the home run. She's doing a real nice job.

It's one of those things that when it gets hit, it hurts for a few days and he's out. Then he feels he can play again. It's hard to play one-handed out there.

There were times when Daniel didn't know when to pass and when to shoot. More importantly, he was letting his offense affect his defense. Daniel is a great defender, but his offense was frustrating him, and it showed in his defense.

They have good chemistry; they seem to mesh really well. They play together a lot.
