    Harrison Goblins run-rule Pioneers
    March 11, 2010

    HARRISON — The Harrison Goblins were all Batesville Coach Mark Rush expected.
    He’s concerned, however, that the Pioneers were less than expected during a 14-4, run-ruled thumping in a nonconference game here Wednesday.
    “Harrison is a quality team and well-coached. They were exactly what I thought they would be,” he said. “Crazy as it may sound, though, I don’t think they are that much better than us. I didn’t feel like we were in the right frame of mind. We’re better than that, but we’re going to have to go back to work and prove it to somebody.”
