He’s also very confident for the next round. “I think we’re better than every team left on the board until state and as long as we keep playing our game like we played we should beat every team,” He said.
When it comes to the girls, Senior Jill Lancaster states that the first round was intense and paced paced, but it helped prepare them for future rounds. Her confidence is high for the next rounds as well.
“If we work together as a tram we have a good chance at going all the way,” Lancaster said.
She also states that giving 100 percent effort and watching film of other components helped when it came to playing.
Junior Preslee Howell is also confident for the girls team when it comes to the next rounds. “We’ve played them before, there’s not much to worry about,” Howell said.
Howell has pride in working as a team and having a team others do not have.
Both Rodgers and Howell believe that being with their teams is what helped lead them to the second round of playoffs.
