“We ended up 7-15 on the season. We had some tough losses and some very exciting wins,” said Coach Lori Brokopp. “I’m proud of my team and their resilience. We only had eight players and they worked hard. Most nights we had our middle school managers scrimmaging with us to be able to play 5-on-5. A lot of growth and learning took place. We will miss our three seniors positive leadership (on and off the court).”
