Head Coach Collin Bell and Assistant Coach Marjorie Morrow have guided the team through a season of dedication and hard work, and they are excited about the opportunity to compete on their home turf.
“Our young ladies have made a tremendous jump this season by shattering nearly every school record in existence and we aren’t ready to stop yet.” said Head Coach Collin Bell, “Our Eagles started the season very strong and then adversity hit, we dropped 3 straight games and that’s when our Captains, Senior Riley Morrow and Sophomore Claire Miles stepped up and “rallied the troops” I believe facing those trials during the regular season will help us in our playoff run. We have not faced AHSA yet this season so it really allows us to go into the first round focusing on playing our best game”
