That's just sportsmanship, respect for the game, respect for your opponent, he made a mistake, so there will be a consequence that he has to endure here within our family. But it won't happen again because (third base coach Joe McEwing) will be on the lookout and I will be too, and we'll go running in front of the pitcher if we have to.
This was like a playoff type of game because this team made adjustments, they made the proper adjustments. They have a really, really good coach, and they play hard. We knew it was going to be tough. We knew they weren't going to come in and play the same game.
Lord, I thank you for these kids and the blessing you've given me with them. We believe in the game, we believe in competition and we can come into it as rivals and leave as brothers. the district is in no way taking away an athletic coach's freedom of expression.
Coach Ake is very dedicated to the team, he would be there at the field waiting for kids to show up after school. It is a great way to keep healthy, away from screens and have friends. I can tell that they are very close to each other.
