Coach Jibben commented, “These girls worked hard and played with a lot of heart all year.  The team faced adversity from the beginning of the season with having just 11 players on the roster and eventually losing one player to injury (non-softball related).  The team stuck together and battled through each game.  If anyone deserved to win the championship, it was this group of girls!”
