rience,” coach Ebbs said.
“We’re going to be taking
a lot of young kids to that
tournament and they need
to get that experience and
they need to come back next
year and grow. So when we
get those (young) kids in that
tournament, everything we
do is a win. We’re going to
smile, pat them on the back
and work hard and fi ght. And
when they come back next
year, we’re going to have
higher expectations.”
