The talent level was there when I got here. It's been a matter of getting the girls to buy into my system and getting them to believe they we can get this program back to where it was four years ago.

There are still girls with a lot of talent coming back. I'm not sure if they're going to have quite the bond that we all had.

She has the kind of talent you just don't see in sophomore girls. On top of that, she's all about the team and gets just as excited after a big rebound or outlet pass as she does after scoring. It's almost not fair.

The percentage for Talent is going up and I think that's a very good idea because the girls that have such a wonderful talent have even more chances to win the pageant.

This year's continued success for the girls is owed to a combination of new talent and returning runners who have worked hard to improve.

We beat ourselves with 32 missed serves on the night. The team has a lot of talent and the girls are improving every day, but great passing and hard hitting don't really matter much if a team can't make its serves.
