"It was senior night and the girls really came out and played hard and played as a team," said Kelly head coach Rod McQuerter. "The girls have had an outstanding season. I'm very proud of the seniors. They are outstanding leaders and to have this kind of season with no player taller than 5-6 is just remarkable. I'm blessed with a good group of girls. I'm very proud of them."
