Quote of the Week
“We have lots of girls from our team participating in fall sports and activities, which is awesome. We are hoping that they will have success moving forward in their season and that will only build confidence as basketball season comes in a couple of months. We are very excited about this year's team, led by a great group of experienced players. We have three-year starters in Bailey Hermanson and Aurora Decker along with Danika as a returning starter. We had the opportunity last year to get a lot of girls varsity experience, and we hope that will pay off this year. This year, we play Mountain Iron and Anoka on the road, which will give us some excellent competition as we work towards competing in our section throughout the year.” -- Hermantown varsity girls basketball coach Eric Borndal
