defensive last learn lights midway recent schemes spring understood
I think it will be a lot different than recent years. Last season, about at the midway point, I could see the lights go on in a lot of players. They understood the defensive schemes we wanted to use. Now, with this spring practice, they aren't going to have to learn anything new.

It feels really good to be able to cut down the net on Senior Night. We were ready to play and the girls felt like they had something to prove. We played hard all season and winning a share of the district crown is one of the rewards for that.
