COACH ENCE: "Courtney was sort of 'thrown into the<br />
fire' as the first year coach, and she responded admirably.<br />
Coach Jarrell<br />
One quality that stuck out in my mind was how she instilled the importance of giving<br />
all-out effort when you step on the court. Congratulations to Coach Jarrell for<br />
continuing the winning tradition of our sophomore basketball team."<br />
