Coach’s Comments (Bruce Woitas): “As a coach, the tough part is when you have to say goodbye to your seniors. I want to thank our seniors, Reagan, Madison and Katelyn for their leadership to our team and how they shared their love of the game of basketball with their teammates. They will look back and see how great their high school careers were. They will be missed.”
