"I thought we competed pretty well tonight on the mound. We faced a really good pitcher who had a great night. We will keep working hard to prepare for our Region Schedule, which begins in three weeks on March 19. It's important that we stay focused on improving and doing the little things well," said Coach Hiller. "It was a great ballgame tonight and a good atmosphere for high school baseball. We enjoyed celebrating the success of our 1981 State Runner-Up team, who had their 43rd Reunion tonight at the game. They are a great group of men. It was a pleasure to meet them and talk baseball with them. It is obvious how much they love baseball and each other, which is why they were so successful at Peach County High School."
