“I am extremely proud of every single girl today. We fought the entire day, never giving up. The girls came together and played their hearts out on the court. Defensively we were hustling and didn’t let a ball hit without a fight. Offensively our focus was on mixing up our shots and plays throughout the whole day,” Lakeview coach Renee Buchholz said.
