Conference outlook:

The Marawood is always one of the toughest small school conferences in the state. While several teams are revamping this season, I believe that week in and week out we will test each other to the max. I believe that we will be competing for a conference title, but everyone has the opportunity this season.

Keys to your success this season:

We are replacing six starters from last season, so how quickly we can come together as a team will determine how successful we are this year.

Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share?

While its never easy to replace six starters, I love the makeup and grit of this team. I believe we have the pieces in place to compete with anyone on any given day. Our expectations have not lowered, and I believe that is a testament to the culture that these young women are creating at Abbotsford.
