12 Quotes by Todd Coffin

This win puts us back in the conference race. We played well enough to beat LaPorte and fell short. We're not sneaking up on anyone anymore.

He killed us. (I) got (Smith) picked off. I didn't think (Sealy) would get to the ball. They made the tough plays and we didn't make the basic plays.

Last week, I challenged our pitchers, in the locker room and in the paper.

Records are made to be broke and I think Jason can do it. With all due respect to Jamie, I think if Jason has a big day he should be able to get it done.

That catch cost us two runs. That's a heck of a play.

Like I told the kids, we had to wait 11 games before we got our first win out of the way.

Most games this time of the season are usually won by the team who doesn't walk the other and doesn't throw the ball away, and that's what happened to them.

We are still looking for someone to step up as the No. 2 pitcher. You're not going to win many high school games giving up the number of hits that we did today. Everything in this game hinges on pitching, and we didn't have it.
