This is the first season since I've been here where most of the girls were committed in the offseason and are concentrating on one sport.

Two or three girls go to a club and they've worked out that one player is worth £50,000 ($128,000), another's worth £30,000 ($77,000). That's the reality.

I thought the girls performed really well, and I'm pleased with all of them. Haylea Martin finished fourth, and that's probably the best she's placed at the County meet. Sam Crosby was sixth, and she made her way up from fourteenth. I'm really proud of both of them.

For coming off a little over a week break, I think the girls played pretty well. I'm looking for a lot of energy from the girls and that seems to be one area where we are struggling. Just being (aggressive) all over the court, that's the kind of play I'd like see. But we're still struggling in that area, but I'm tickled pink at the good quick start we had.

The girls don't like to lose, ... They were like, 'We don't want to experience that again.'
