We have so much talent on this team, that ,there’s no telling how well we can do. We work very hard, and we all have the desire to win,” she said. For now McAllister is set ting her sights on the league championship, a goal she thinks is very realilistic. Coaching as well as the play ers will determine the outcome of this season for Clackamas, and "We have so much talent on this team, there's no telling how far we can go."
