Reply to "Diary of a Senior Season"

You never look past a team. You focus on what's in front of you. You study the scouting report and you formulate strategies and you talk only about the opponent who is up next. You don't talk about what it will be like in Sarasota or think about playing Nova next Tuesday night. It's back burner stuff. You read the stuff in the paper: how Douglas pulled out a 5-4 win with a DiNatale walk-off two run jack in the bottom of the 7th. How Nova escaped with a 2-1 win over Northeast. How Port St. Lucie was upset. You wonder what's going on with those teams. But you don't read too much into it. You just keep thinking about Barron Collier on Friday. We will play at Fort Lauderdale Stadium. It is cavernous for a high school team. The place accentuates strengths and exposes weaknesses. A major league field, it is well manicured, magnifying our defense. Our fielders are fast into the gap and cover ground in the outfield. Our hitters can drive balls to the walls. We had 4 triples against Cooper City, the longest a 390 foot blast to straight away center by Mike Marseco. Dennis Raben fit well into the huge park, picking up 2 triples. We can't wait to get back there. Barron Collier will be ready. We're more than ready. Bring it on.
