What do you do before the season to prepare?

“Every year, before the season, we get a list of physical challenges and exercises  we have to do. They help us to get into shape over the summer, “ said Addie Alford.

What was your favorite game this season?

“Definitely beating Pius at Claws for a Cause. Pius beat us four times last year, and this year was the first time Coach Longoria has ever beaten Pius. We beat them twice that week, and it was nice to finally win against them,” said Carly Kritzer.

Do you have any superstitions before games?

“If we do well in a game, we try to wear whatever hairstyle we wore that game to keep up the winning streak,” said Claire Schepp.

What was your favorite thing about this season?

“We had a Barbie theme this season. We had a real Barbie and would dress her up and bring her to all our games. She was like our mascot,” said Addie Alford.
