Outlook: “The girls are excited to be back and playing a full schedule this year. With our schedule, conference and league, we know we will be facing some of the toughest competition in the state and look forward to the challenge. There are no easy games, and we know that we will have to bring our best to each contest. The girls have approached this season with the right energy and mentality to make a run back into the district playoffs after a season on the outside looking in and hopefully further. Although last season wasn't as successful as we would have liked, we are returning a bunch of players with experience from our state playoff run two seasons ago and hope to use that as motivation to make it back again. This is a great group of girls, and it is a pleasure to coach them. As a team, we look to play with speed in possession and great team defense. We have a nice mix of senior leadership and young new players that enjoy playing with each other.”
