“Klaire did a really good job of spreading out the offense tonight, which left our middles (blockers) up and they were getting the job done,” Lake City coach Jenna Leggat said. “That, along with the right side were opened, and it opened some blocks and Arlaina was able to captalize on those and she did a great job of it. Yesterday, our big focus at practice was on defense and making sure we were digging the ball more than we had been. Every day, whether it’s at practice or a game, we’re trying to get better and we’ll use this and how we played tonight and keep coming to practice with things to work on.”
