We're excited. We've got 13 girls and eight are freshmen and sophomores. This is a good experience for them. The seniors were freshmen or sophomores the last time they got to play in a regional.

The girls are improving and growing with experience every time they step on the floor.

The top five girls ran very well as a pack. This was a great opening experience for several of the first time high school runners. All the girls that ran competed well and we are all looking forward to a successful season. Everyone is working hard at practice.

We have a lot of girls from successful programs that have experience playing under pressure. They are an adaptable group that we will surely count on almost immediately.

The girls don't like to lose, ... They were like, 'We don't want to experience that again.'

This is also going to be an educational experience for the girls.
