Coach Winger says: "I have the four returners, so it's nice to have that core group. I lost one of my players to another sport this year. . . . We'd sure like to try to get a berth at the state tournament. We won't know until we see what the other teams look like, as far our chances. The girls have a great attitude and really want to work to improve. They go about their business very seriously, and I like that. I look forward to the numbers coming down through the course of the season significantly."
