Final Comments:
We have good depth and our strength is tournament experience by 7 returning lettermen. Very quick and have good mix of underclassmen and seniors that play well together. This SR class has won a lot of games in their career. We hope to continue the long tradition of success in the classroom and on the court. The goal is to again win the MAC and get back to regional for a shot at Dayton. Last year we lost to the State Champion (Napoleon) in the regional final so the girls have worked hard and are determined to reach the final step of states.
