“In a match like tonight, the girls have a sense to just disconnect and kind of sit back and not keep pushing forward,” Head Coach Chris Laird said. “I think a team like Jeff Davis is a better team than they showed tonight.”
The Lady Pirates were unstoppable and refused to back down.
“I feel we really stepped up because of what we’ve worked on in practice,” Adrianne Woodard said. “We’ve improved so much since we’ve been playing and it has an impact on us.”
All of the girls had a chance to play tonight and each made a contribution to the match.
