Coaches' Notes (Kyle Rouse)
"It was a great game that definitely put us in good position for postseason play at the Cal Pac Tournament. The biggest thing for us right now is that we are playing the best basketball that we can play heading into the tournament. We kind of had spurts tonight in the periods but our defense has been what has won us games this season. We have to play 40 minutes total every game. We can't get comfortable now.
Trinity Vasquez every time we need a bucket she and Bailey have been our go to looks. I've said this before but Trin has ice in her veins. The thing that I think gets unnoticed from everyone else. She is doing all of this while guarding their top player every night. Tonight down the stretch she has put every effort she has to make sure we score on the other side...also People can't look away on what she does on the defensive side of the ball for us. I think that people go oh wow she averages 20 points a game but she is a phenomenal defender."
What's Next? Westcliff is on the road to face off against Antelope Valley on Thursday the 17th.
