“Well, it was a nail-biter nearly all day, but the girls pulled it off and qualified the entire team for state,” said head coach Gene Rundus. “I had confidence from the beginning that the girls would prevail over a determined Hesston team, and they didn’t disappoint… It was cool and rainy for most of the day, but we knew that no one could afford to lose focus. We coaches are incredibly proud of all their efforts today and extremely happy for the girls who are getting rewarded for all their hard work this season.”
