COACH’S COMMENTS
“… The girls had an overall good tournament. We beat a really good Menifee County team. It was an overtime win and it was really good to win that early in the season. We then lost to a really good Louisville Central team. They will cause a lot of havoc in Louisville. Then on the last day of the tournament we struggled to get going in the first half dug ourselves a hole but battled back to the take the lead late in the 4th but couldn’t hang onto it. We battled and fought and I loved how the girls played in the second half. We are heading to Charleston, SC to play in the Carolina invitational. We love this trip. We’re playing some tough competition and looking forward to the challenge.”
