COACH’S COMMENTS
“… I was proud of our girls and how they bounced back last night. We got back to playing with that dawg in us. We’ve told them that they have to play that way for us to be successful. Our offense is fueled from our defense. That’s how we played last night. We’re looking to get on a roll here and get ourselves back to the regional tournament and fight for another regional championship.”
“… I was proud of our District Player of the Year along with the five other All-District members. This has been a season of all of our players learning new roles and embracing what they can do to help our team be successful. There have been struggles that have enabled us to grow into the team we are today. It’s going to take an entire team effort and everyone doing their job for us to go on a strong run here. I know the girls are up to the challenge. We’re excited about our opportunities.”
