You do the best you can. The last couple of days have been pretty windy. Today is cold and windy, and it's probably only going to get colder.

She was one of the leaders of our team. I'm excited for her, and I think she is ready to play at the next level. Offensively, she's going to be tough to replace. She was so strong offensively and she played volleyball year-round, and we don't have a lot of players who do that. Those are definitely some shoes that need to be filled.

All the other sports are still going on. We have girls in soccer, weightlifting, basketball, and you can't take away from the sport they're in.

You use the same things you learn in school, but you get to take it further. You get to spend time with your friends and the challenges are always fun.

We've just been dedicated. We're playing hard ? and together.
