"The team faced some adversity early on in the season and rose above it to put three stellar performances on the floor," said head coach Stacie Horton. "The week of state is always a hectic schedule with the team putting in an additional 23 hours of practice time.  They never complained and were driven to push through together.  I was extremely proud of their performances and placings.  It's always been our team goal to place in the top three in every category and they did exactly that!"
