COACH'S CORNER
"Today went well. I feel like our ladies had a bad taste in their mouth from the Wayland Dual and wanted to make a statement today. I think they wanted to show that they are better and tougher than what it seemed when we wrestled on Friday. I think they did just that, even with a partial line up. It is awesome to have several spectators and coaches from other teams compliment our young ladies on their hand fighting and ability to hold center. As always, we still have holes in our game and can improve in so many areas, but I am very happy with our performance. We got a little banged up today but will take time this week to recover and work on some stuff." - Coach
Kevin Corbett
