Stauffacher, a senior is a great leader on and off the court. She talks about the team and how they work well together.

“This year’s team is a great group of girls and we all definitely have our highs and lows and strengths and weaknesses, so it’s definitely nice to have everyone have good qualities to help us with the win,” Stauffacher said.

“We were definitely super excited because we had been preparing for it and it felt good to beat them and take out their best player early on in the game,” Stauffacher said.

The Kingsmen finished the regular season 16-6 and play Northridge in the first round of Sectionals.
