NOTES AND QUOTES


Winning coach, Eric Regez of Herscher: "The game plan was to keep the pitches on the edges and change speeds often because Massac is a very good hitting team. Our seniors have worked extremely hard to get to this point. "

Losing coach, Danny Stevens of Massac County: "We didn't come out sharp today, and unfortunately they did. We needed to play seven strong innings to beat these guys, but we only played four strong innings. "
