Watching one another not only grow up to be the individuals we are but to be the players we are is honestly outstanding. My teammates impress me every day. We’ve had a lot going on for us the past few weeks, with a lot of games to get in, in such a little time. That doesn’t stop or slow us down though. We power through each week and accomplish our goals. I’m beyond proud of this team and am excited to finish out the regular season and see where the postseason takes us. This team deserves it all.”
