COACH’S COMMENTS
“…We are very proud of both Jacey and Emily on being recognized for Honorable Mention All State. They both have worked very hard to be the best players they can be. Jacey is a fierce competitor and defensively many times takes on the opponents top player. She can shoot the three-pointer and score in the mid-range equally effectively. She is versatile and can play multiple positions.”
“… Emily can shoot the three effectively as well as get to the rim. She can score at all three levels and is very versatile in the all-around game. It will be exciting to see what the future holds for both of these young ladies, they are great players, but even better people.”
