First we want to win our district. We want to go undefeated in district. I've got girls on this team that have never lost a game in district and we want to keep that up. Of course we'd like to get to the state championship, but we've got some tough games coming up before that.

Alex has become more vocal for us, which is a nice surprise. She never stepped up like this before because she probably felt it wasn't her role when she was younger. Now she feels like it is her time as a senior.

This team has great chemistry. They have better chemistry than last year's team.
