I've been keeping my ears open and trying to see some matches at the jr high level (since high school's still got a week before it starts) and am extremely impressed with the girls this year. Morgan Ottesen is still kicking butt and taking names and there are a few new faces in Lawrence at the jr. high level. Payton Covert is showing leaps and bounds of improvement from last season and Mallory Cox is a new face at Central JH in Lawrence. I am quite pleased with everyone's determination and willingness to compete with the boys. I can't even begin to express how proud I am of each of them, no matter what level they are, for going out there are giving it their all. I can't wait to see where they'll be once they hit high school. Good luck to everyone this season.
