Quotable:
GHS coach, Greg Bidolli: “That was a very good team we played tonight. I’m glad how our girls came out to compete. We had several players on both sides of the ball play really well. Our offense came out and executed, and the defense did a great job adjusting. Liz Dominguez really had an overall strong game for us. Our league is really tough. Now we need to get ready for a good Claremont team who has won their last two games. But more importantly, we need to work on getting better every day.”
