COACH’S COMMENTS
“… I was proud of their effort. We gotta figure out some more things on the double team, having the right guy cut and then also running a play right so we can get Maddie the ball back when she was flipping on fire!! I set up 4 different sets to give her a look and we couldn’t run them. But how tough was Jada… she told Anna she wanted stitched up and come back and play. She was so tough tonight and has grown so much since early Dec. I was so proud of her… all of the girls really but her being able to come back and tough that out was big for her..the girls competed hard and I was so proud of them.”
