Whitney Ward is a fantastic player. She brings up the level of every player on their team.

Whiteland is an awesome team with some really, really good players. Huffman is an amazing player, but we're really deep and that keeps us fresh.

The Ward kid is a phenomenal player.

She is my head captain and she was my most valuable player. I can't say enough about Whitney. She's the most dedicated kid I ever coached.

We had no competition in pool play, and then we went up against a good team that was playing well. I hope we can take a lesson from it. If we stick to our game plan, we should be able to spin this into a positive heading into the playoffs.

Blair has certainly been an ultimate team player. He's played very well for us and he's certainly all about the team. Paulo's no different. I mean, whatever it takes for us to win. They support each other, and that's very good for us.
