After all the celebrating, Coach ushered us to the dugout so we could pack up, clean up, and hear him speak. 

"Great game, Garret." He congratulated first, nodding towards our captain. Another round of applause and hollers rained down as Garret grinned. "Okay, okay. Save it for later. Let me talk about next week." He looked around as we quieted down. "Next week, we have two games. Soledad High School and Foothill High school. Both away and both we haven't seen before. Bryce will get the start on Tuesday and Brian on Thursday. As of now, I don't plan to bench any of the regular starters until we have a solid lead in the game. But if things look tight, I won't be afraid to use Garret or Kyle to close it out."

"What about me, Coach?" Dave complained. "I'll be ready to go in a couple of days."
