What they’re saying

“Addison has really grown as a leader this year. That was the only question I had coming into the year: What kind of leader she would be. She did what great players do. She put the team on her back, made the plays we needed to make, made sure our younger girls stayed composed and just willed them to win.”

— Corey Gesford, Mountain View coach (The Times-Tribune)

“She (Kilmer) has had a great career. There's a reason she is a 2,000-point scorer. She's a hell of a player. I thought the first three quarters we did a pretty good job against her. But it's tough to keep a player like that down for four quarters.”

— C.J. Kersey, Wyoming Seminary coach (The Times-Tribune)
