“The girls won because they worked incredibly hard for each other, always kept a positive attitude, and never gave up,” said coaches Sara Krawetz and Jamilee Helps.
“Our senior players were instrumental this season, showing great leadership and stepping up when needed. The girls really enjoyed playing together, and this camaraderie contributed to their success. We couldn’t be prouder of this team.”
