I knew when these girls were freshmen that they'd be good and get better every year. They have higher goals of winning a (state) championship, so district is just like the first stop for them.

Every year since I've been here, we've had a strong girls team. I think we've got a group of girls that go out there with the confidence that they know they can do it, and they get it done.

It's pretty emotional. This is the group I had my first year, and I kind of feel like I'm a senior with them because I've been with them for four years. I'll be sad to see them go.

I feel like we've got some real good players on the top on both sides, and I feel like we've got some depth on both sides. We just have a group of kids that compete really well, and that's a lot of it. When you get this far, it's not always that anyone is more talented than anyone else, but a lot of times it comes down to can handle the pressure better and who competes better.

The girls set individual goals. We fulfilled those goals.

Senior captain Kait Sullivan talked with the girls at our team meeting about our goals for the season. Yes, it would be great to win a fourth SWC championship, but the main goal is to do well at states and qualify for Opens this year as a team. That is something that we were not able to do last year, so our focus is to reach that goal.
