Head Coach Tre Truner states, “Today we’re getting back to playing basketball. We’re going from just having two weeks in total, like some of the teams we’re playing they’ve got months in.  So just getting back to the fundamentals and playing basketball. Very proud of my girls. Defensively we controlled the game, and offensively we scored, we just got to get better with our rebounding and just being disciplined. I’m very proud of them. I also want to credit Coach Carswell(Coach T) and Coach Williams I’m so grateful for them two mentoring me and coaching me through it. I appreciate them.  The three headed monster is what we call each other”.

Assistant Coach Seneathia Williams states, “I saw a lot of leadership tonight. A lot of girls stepped up and that’s what we need.  Everyone played as a team, defense was awesome, a lot of heart, a lot of effort and they’re improving every week. I’m proud of all of them.”
