Game Summary
Tonight was a very big night for us. We accomplished a lot of things. We were able to finish our home regular season undefeated this year, we won a share of the conference title, our first since 1998, and we were able to honor 5 great Seniors, Katie Kropp, Kayla Thompson, Rhiannon Welsh, Taylor West, and Mikayla Seitz with a win in their final home game. We really came out tonight with great team energy. Our entire team was intense, focused, and played hard the entire night. We were able to finish 12-1 against our conference opponents this year, which is great accomplishment with how tough the I-70 was this year. I am so proud of our girls as this is a good win to build off of heading into districts next week.
