"I am very proud of the girls this year because they stayed together as a team," said CCC head coach Billy Perkins. "With all of the cancellations due to COVID, this team stayed together and grew together until the end. The final result was not what they wanted, but they should be proud of themselves in that they never game up. I am very blessed to have coached this group."
