“Tonight was a nice win against a Lawrence North team,” said HSE coach Jason Young. “They’re banged up a little bit, Lawrence North is, but obviously their offense is really strong. I was proud of our middles in particular. I thought Maddie had a real bounce-back game and Delaney was lights out tonight with 13 kills. I was very pleased with how we responded after not playing for six days.”
