Quotes from Eden Christian coach Joyce Brown: "Elena plays a huge role to the success of our offense. Although this is my first year coaching her, I know what it’s like to be on the other side trying to defend a player with such versatile skills. I enjoy having the chance to have a nice mix of plays to run that keeps the other team guessing. We will continue to help Elena grow in her teamwork and leadership to ensure Fairfield State gets the best player from us. |
