Jessica's COMMITMENT Quotation...

"Commitment:

It means sacrificing your body for the ball.

Doing your best and always trying to improve.

Never giving up and not dwelling in the past.

It's what every player needs."

Liz VandeWege's SACRIFICE quotation...

Its all about heart. If you're not willing to do it, and you're willing to sacrifice your body and put your body out there and do whatever the team needs, thats what it is.

JV Game on MONDAY, MAY 18...

...is AT Holland Christian at 4 P.M. with the varsity game to follow. The bus will leave right after school.

Coach's Corner...

...after a tough 3-2 loss to Zeeland West. Girls, we've got to be more mentally tough, especially at this time of the season...no excuses. Some of us let the opponents and referees get into our heads; some of us feel asleep at times with our marks. What does that lead to? A 3-2 loss (after 1-0 and 2-1 leads at that). Ok, enough with the negatives. There were some great performances out there today...some good possession at times which led to great goals...solid one-on-one defense for the most part, etc. Now, let's bounce back and PERFORM vs. Wayland on Friday!
