Chris Kroesch Mission Hills Girls Basketball Coach- “Eastlake is a good ballclub. We were 7 of 46 in the first half shooting the ball. We kept missing shots and didn’t follow through as the nerves got to us a bit. I am happy that we found a way to pull the victory.”
“Khayla Rooks had trouble with her shots and had trouble seeing the basket but teammate Kaitlyn Nguyen, who is one of the toughest girls I have ever coached played, her defense was incredible. When she made some mistakes I disciplined her so she so she could improve on both sides of the ball. She contributed with 9 points and improved a lot with her free throws. For the final round we take on The Bishop’s School the head coach is a good friend of mine.” said Coach Kroesch
