Our student body showed up BIG tonight and did a fantastic job of cheering our team to victory. They did a great job of encouraging, being loud, and were unified behind our girls. We had the louder side of the gym by far and the girls knew it.
Thank you HAWK NATION for brining the support.
Words aren't enough to express the gratitude.
