Being the captain, they definitely see me as a leader and I think that they are looking to me for guidance. We just want to go and have the experience. It doesn't matter what place, getting there is the best part.

We've been striving for it since last year. We didn't know what was going to happen because we lost some seniors, but last week was the most crucial week. A lot of girls gained new skills, and if they didn't get these new skills, we would have not made it to state.

It means a lot. I think all year we've been working for that goal and I think going into this season it's definitely something we wanted to achieve. Everyone was excited we made states for the first time I think it's been 20 years.

The projects we fund are in conjunction with the administration of the two schools, the superintendent and the school board. We're also trying to work with the Parent Teacher Association. It makes no sense to be in competition, and we're much better (now) at doing that.

A lot of our money comes from the residents of Fair Haven.

Last year we spent over $50,000.
