“I am liking that our team is getting together really well,” Juneau’s Carte said. “We just have good energy at practice and stuff so far. Everyone wants to be here, everyone wants to be on the field. We have a good ball team and once we get going in the season we will be pretty solid. I am really getting used to the turf now. I love the turf. We are blessed to have this opportunity to play on this field. I mean, for so long we were playing on a dirt field with bad hops when having to charge the ball so it has been a lot of fun playing on this field.”

“I am actually feeling pretty good,” coach Tompkins said of the weekend. “There is a lot of good stuff from the boys. They haven’t really played together much. I mean, they were on the JV and varsity teams but they are getting it together. They all impressed me through the weekend. We only had a couple days of practice, and we’re not making excuses, but they have to learn to trust the coaches. So when they do that they’ll start putting it together…South runs a great program up there. They lost that first game at state to Sitka in a pitching duel and we faced some of their pretty good pitchers that I don’t think some of our JV guys have ever faced so they were a little bit behind. But as we practice more we will get up to that.”
