Coach Evan Spence's Thoughts:
"Another tough day out there in the wind today where we just didn't execute our best. Always trying to learn as much as possible any time we get the chance to compete. I think this week has proven that we'll need to spend some time sharpening up our ball flight control before regionals in the event we see more wind like this down in Florida. Still have a good opportunity tomorrow to put a good team round up on the board and get some momentum rolling for the rest of the postseason."
