She has been an example of stability and excellence over the past five years.

I'm disappointed because we didn't play our best ball. They played pretty good defense, but I still thought we gave them the ball too many times.

That was huge. It didn't cost us the game, but we didn't bounce back after that.

There was a point when we were 16-2 and we felt like we had struggled a little. But then I said there are a lot of teams in the state that would like to be 16-2.

Plus, they continue to restock the pipeline, and this year has been a great example of that.

Our region more than at any time in the past needs calm and stability,
