“In practice Coach tells the guards to be ready to shoot and she gives as much confidence to freshmen as any other guard. The rest of my teammates had set a lot of great screens for me to get open and I’m just taking advantage.”
Micah Powell, who moved from defense to offense, on his skills as a running back:

“I would say I’m an all-around type back. I can block. I know I’m not the fastest, but (cutting) left and right I’m good.”
