COACH’S COMMENTS
“… The Carolina trip is always something we enjoy. We took our JV and Varsity this year and I was thankful they could all experience it.
“…Our record doesn’t indicate how good our team is and the progress we’ve made. We have lost some tough close games against very good competition but we’ve gained some valuable experience that I am confident will help us the rest of the season.”
“… We’re looking forward to competing in the Class 2A Section 8 tournament this week. Excited for the opportunity.”
