COACH’S COMMENTS
“…Great experience last weekend against 2 highly ranked teams, to get a split and compete hard. I was proud of our girls. We are growing and gaining experience every time out.”
“… On Wednesday we played well throughout and had a chance to win the game with Charleston Catholic. The foul trouble was crucial and we didn’t handle late game situations well. However, some of our kids are in positions they have not had to deal with before with pressure. They will get better with the experience , and sometimes expererience is a tough teacher . We will learn our lessons and get better at finishing games off.”
