"All three have exceptional work ethic and show strong leadership on and off the court. In four years, Kayla has steadily increased her production on both sides of the court, and we look for a strong senior year from her. As a point guard, Morgan is a natural leader, and we will depend on her to direct the offense and set the pace. Maddie is a shooter who has worked tirelessly on her shot in the off season; we will need her to continue to expand her production as she did from year one to year two. Overall, our young team is in good hands with these three guiding them."
