Coach’s comments: “This is definitely Holly Hoopingarner’s team. She’s very strong, and we can move her around this season. She controls the ball and the game. We are guard heavy, but it is really nice to have so many leaders at guard. We have a lot of pieces. We are very, very small, starting four girls 5-4 and under. The girls basketball IQ is very high. I’m doing more with this group at this point than I have with any team. This is a great group of girls who love playing hard for each other.”
