Coaches Corner

• “We were so ready to play. I can feel it when I go into pregame and we are focused and determined not to end this journey. I could see it, I could feel it. They were self-motivated and no one needed to say anything to them. That’s where our practices had been all week. We were 100-percent all in.”
