Coach Larry Boshell said, " The girls came out after another break of a week in between games and really played well from the start. We came out and jumped on them quickly in the 1st and 3rd quarters and played solid defense. This group is coming together well with the limited number of games we have due to other teams only having one team or illness. We just need to keep learning and get better every time we are on the floor. Hopefully, we can come out and continue to get better next week in the conference tournament."

Coach Boshell said, "We came out again and matched up for most of the game against a very quick Delta team. I think the girls stepped up to the challenge and did a good job guarding. We had some breakdowns and miscommunications a few times but we kept our composure and figured it out. We dealt with some foul trouble as well and had other players step up when needed. Offensively, we had a few turnovers when they pressured us but for the most part, we took care of the ball. It can always be better and that is what we are striving for."
"This team is fun to watch and hopefully, we continue to work and get better as we get closer to the postseason," he added.
