COACH’S COMMENTS
“… What a battle against a tough physical Prestonsburg team. Coach Kidd has done a great job with them. I was very proud of our girls for battling when we dug ourselves a little hole. They never wavered from our game plan. They battled and competed all night. So proud of them. We definitely are going to enjoy this one!”
