What they’re saying

“We need to have great execution from our kids, especially late in games. They are a veteran group. They are the kind of kids where when you say something to them in the huddle, they go out and execute.”

— Mitch Eslick, Sigourney Head Coach (KCII Sports)

“Our games lately show that I can use more of my bench. It's great to see them all play together and pick each other up when they come in. That's going to be especially important with our tough postseason bracket.”

— Kaylee Weber, Sigourney Head Coach (KCII Sports)

Both the Sigourney boys and girls basketball teams are looking to build momentum heading into the playoffs, with the girls team aiming to end North Mahaska's recent dominance in the series. The coaches are emphasizing strong execution, team depth, and preparation for tough postseason matchups.
