It is an individual sport. But I (preached) the team sport because these girls were like my little sisters. They were like a family.

It's definitely some good momentum. We won by 14 points, but two of my girls scratched out … and they were possibly top three on the conference. It was a lot of drama with that meet Wednesday.

These girls just love being part of a winning program. I get a lot of girls who can't play other sports and they excel in this one. It's just a great group.

The girls have cousins and sisters with state championships so they know what it takes.

We have a very close team this year. The girls are like sisters to each other and the chemistry between them is great.

Obviously, I've always wanted to teach (my athletes). Not to be police officers, but better athletes; but now, yes, I guess now I'm going to be a coach for the police department.
