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.

Obviously, what we had wasn't working and the girls adjusted well and enjoyed themselves, which isn't always an easy thing to do when you are losing. We've got four practices before our next game and now we've got a new angle. Change is good.

Hancock was a little discombobulated without Kathleen. I imagine their coach had to rest her to try to make her healthy for districts.

She played very aggressively and her serve proved difficult to return.

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.
