Head girls coach Jacquie Hartmann, who was named 3A KingCo co-coach of the year, said that her team “established four guiding principles of motivation, inspiration, grit and teamwork to drive our performance and mindset this season. All the players truly embraced them and we believe that led to our team success and a good experience for all.”
