Strengths:  “Our speed and ball movement allow for a very fast paced game. We have a very strong core with great decision making and leadership.”

Outlook: “I am very happy with how our Varsity squad is looking. We are very focused and driven led by Em Bullard, Kenz Lever, and Phia Mannino, all of which have been starters on varsity since their freshman year.  Although, we haven’t had our normal spring schedule, preseason, or the start to our season, I think we are focused and ready to go after our fifth consecutive conference title and work hard to make it to districts and states. I have a very dedicated group of girls that want to push one another and come out on top while having fun and making the most of our uncertain season. Even though it is a shortened season we are all just happy to be out on the field together and can’t wait to compete.”
