Congrats to these athletes on an incredible season and an amazing performance at the state meet! We are proud of you all!
Annabelle competed in the 100m dash (at the state level as a 6th grader — a huge accomplishment!) She’ll be back chasing medals next year!

@Burnku@TweetsbyCoachP As a coach, I have seen numerous girls quit because of this exact reason. When you have girls missing time because of avoidable concussions, there is an issue. The younger levels need to see the refs clean up the game. Certainly burn out and club volleyball don't help either.
@JohnRHarrell Participation as others have mentioned is certainly a big problem. The lack of foul calling at the Middle School level plays a big role in my opinion. I have seen so many girls quit because they are getting beat up (concussions) in Middle School and nothing is ever called.
