“I know these kids wanted that undefeated record to continue, but in the grand scheme of things, they’re doing just fine,” Liess said. “The big one at the end of March is what we’re after. This shoot will only motivate and drive them even more.”
“The kids shot well coming off break and only having three practice sessions,” Giles said. “We saw them start to sharpen up and get back in the groove as the competition went on. They’ll be ready for nationals. We’re excited for the weeks to come.”
