COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Proud of our girls for how we finished the game. We started out the first quarter with great energy and then struggled especially in the second quarter. But finally the end of the 3rd we started getting back to playing like we’re capable. We are still a work in progress. We’re excited to be playing in the championship game on Saturday. We hope everyone can come out and support our girls and boys teams.”
