COACH SCOTT GREVE'S COMMENTS
- It was a tough loss. Anytime you have three seniors in their last match, it's difficult when it's lose and go home. Everything just ends.
- These seniors are so much fun and work so hard. They will definitely go out into the world and do great things. Ella Frantz winning Anderson Outstanding Senior Female Athlete and her effort [on Tuesday] was fitting. She played [Vanessa Akuaku] who will most likely be the HCAC Player of the Year and it was a very close match again.
- It's been a joy to coach this team. They are truly all winners!
