“We have some good players that come from our feeder schools, Armstrong, Mire and Branch, but our problem is that we’re short, as in players being short.
“They give it their all, but if you don’t have the height at the net for hitting and blocking, that’s a main ingredient of your game that you need.
“We play a heck of a defense -- I give the girls kudos for that. But, we will just have to adjust of offense and work it out some way.”
