Quotable:
GHS coach, Erin Noriega: “Winning league was one of our big goals at the beginning of the season, so it means a lot to get the 6th title in a row. The girls knew going into this season it wasn’t going to be easy, and during preseason, we hit that adversity. But The girls responded really well, kept working hard in practice and honestly trusted the process. They bought into the system and we are playing some of our best volleyball right now when it matters. I preach peaking at the right time and they are doing just that.”
