RIGHT NOW I LIKE

The leadership we have in our upper classmen has been outstanding. Mindy Bean, Rebecca Bevan and Emilee Cross have really stepped up this off-season and look to have very successful seasons coming up. I also like how talented our underclassmen are. We have a very talented group who were very successful at the middle school level and we are hoping that it translates to big success for them in high school as well.

RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE

On ability to gain exposure and experience to the events our girls will be in. It’s been a tough off-season weather wise so we need to make sure we get enough quality practice sessions in before the season starts.

LEAGUE FAVORITE

Washington Senior

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM

All the coaches on the staff are very excited for this upcoming season. This has been largest team we have had since starting here four years ago. We believe this season will be the best one yet in our four years here and the best in quite some time at East Clinton.
