The kids were more worried if we had mustard for sandwiches before we even got out of the gym. They forgot about it.

It's real disappointing. I think it shows a lack of preparation and a lack of concentration. We just weren't ready to play.

They beat us to just about every puck. They have tremendous quickness; the kind you don't see on a lot of other teams. There are other teams with quick forwards, but (Dakota's) defenders are just as fast and it made it tough for us to get shots.

It was an odd game. At times we did some nice things and we made some nice plays. Other times we didn't look so good.

They're a real good team. Right now, it looks like Owatonna and Dakota are the teams to beat in the league.

Zach pitched pretty well. It was nice to see him throw that well in his first time out.

(Albert Lea) lost a ball in the air and dropped a pop up. All of the sudden we were up 6-0.

Defensively, we had the six errors, but we were attempting to make plays. You have to look for bright spots. Our pitchers threw strikes and we only struck out once.

Offensively, we swung the bats really well. We just had too many mistakes. Walks and errors have hurt us before and they hurt us again today.

Offensively, we did what we had to do. We got some guys on base and were hitting the ball alright, but we needed to make a couple more plays in the field.
