Assistant Coach Travis Holm on the team’s performance down the stretch.
“It’s just one of those things where we’ve been working hard, now we want to see what the kids can do,” says Holm. “We talked about that, some of them stepped up and showed us what they’re really made of in competition. As a coach, that’s all you can ask for. I’m proud of them for that.”
