COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Proud of our girls for how they responded in the second half. We haven’t put a half together this year so when we do, we are going to be a really good team. We are having other players step up and that’s helping us to get better.”
“… We have a big district game this Friday. We are looking forward to heading back there to play because we didn’t get the outcome we wanted the last time we were there. So we want to have a different outcome this year. Looking forward to Fridays game.”
