"Having a different coach almost every year, we learned a lot of
s
different drills, senior Kate Parsons said. "Once I learned one, I never

got to do it again. TI1e play worked the aJne way,"

A new coach wasn't the only chMge the team had. The girls Caine
a
out with a new 1-3-1 defense. Despite the work they did in the sum-
s
mer, mai1Y of the players found the defense difficult to adjust to. "Our

baseline runner had to play against the bigger girls and it was harder to k

e
find girls when boxing out," said senior Keshia Selko.
Mid-season the girls were faced with another change. A few of the
t

player felt that the temn's determination to win diminished after a
b
few losses. "At the beginning of the season we had a lot of drive but as
a
soon as we got a few losses, it eemed like most players didn't care
1
whether we won or lost," junior Ashley Guyle said.
