无毛视频淲hen you get the chance to score a bunch of runs, you have to score them,无毛视频� Jefferson-Morgan coach Rich Rush said. 无毛视频淲e should have put this game a lot earlier, and hit the ball a lot better than we did.无毛视频�

无毛视频淭he first three years we played Union twice and Frazier once, but we have a better seed this year, so we were able to stay out of that eight-nine matchup and get a little bit better matchup this time around.无毛视频�
