Coach’s comments: “I expect the girls to be more successful this year because of the experience they gained gained last year. That means a lot because some of them have new positions to learn this season. We will need to work on our team chemistry. With their level of experience and five seniors, we are seeing an improvement in their confidence and that can do nothing but help us. We can put good experienced girls on the floor. We expect to improve in our conference (Indiana Crossroads). By the end of this season, hopefully they will find out how good they can be. Our numbers are up; we have varsity, a JV and a C team, and that can do nothing but help us in the future.”
