What they’re saying

“Our girls came out and did a really good job. We put a lot of pressure on them from the beginning. The kids hit (their pitcher) well. I thought this was probably one of our best games that we've had offensively all year, and we had hits throughout the lineup. We were proud of how they came out and stayed on top of them from the beginning.”

— Shawnda Vines, Midland High head coach

“That didn't help matters but we didn't play like we can play. It was a mental block. We'll be all right. It's one game against a good team. It's not like they are slackers. I will give it to Midland though, they can play ball. We'll be all right. I know what we can do. We're not there yet. We'll be OK.”

— Scott Robinson, Greenwood head coach
