She's a very good athlete, too, like her sister.

I wished I could have coached her for four years. She's strong and aggressive. I think with more work, she could have been a lower Division I prospect for basketball. She has the type of natural ability and aggressive attitude that translates well to both sports.

She wants to win and the situation of the last two years was frustrating for her, but she's done everything that we've asked her to do and she's set a good example for the younger players with her attitude.

We got thumped in some games, but we also played a lot of good teams tough. It's been a learning experience for our kids and I think they've greatly benefited from this type of schedule.
