"It is so fun to watch this team be very dominant on the court to the point our offense can be successful no matter who is given the ball. Having both of our middles so involved so much and being successful when doing so is a testament to how well Blair Pennington is running this offense, as well as Avery and Ashleigh and how hard-working they are throughout the whole match." - Coach Skylar Lane

"Baker's JV had tons of size, athleticism, and physicality, but that didn't prevent our players from playing their own game. Even though the result was a loss we played a good game for our expectations. Our first contacts were great, and that's what we work on and pride ourselves in. So as a coach, I can't be disappointed."  - Viet Nguyen
