RIGHT NOW I LIKE …

I’m pleased with how hard the girls have worked this summer. Hopefully they will be rewarded on the court this fall.

RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE …

We’re still pretty inexperienced. We don’t have a lot of match experience. Also, we only have 10 players so depth could be an issue if we have any injuries.

LEAGUE FAVORITE

Bethel-Tate is always a solid team. I expect CNE and Felicity to be solid this year as well.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM …

We have won four straight SBC National Division titles. We have won 24 straight division matches. In the last 41 SBC league matches, we are 39-2. In the last 52, we are 48-4. This is the standard that has been set for this current group. It will be up to them to work hard enough to try to raise the bar even higher.
