“Even though the start of this season was a toss up, the girls never gave up hope. They showed their dedication and passion to the sport and their team,” said East coach Drew Hochman. “The team worked extremely hard to get ready for whatever the season looked like. Many have worked four years and have improved their game through hard work and dedication. As their coach, I am happy that the girls' efforts will not be wasted and be able to play their senior year.”
