 Hello, and welcome to the Laurel Martin show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce, joined by Stevenson Field Hockey Coach Laurel Martin. Coach, I wrapped up a season a couple of weeks ago. Obviously, not the finish you were looking for, but just talk about overall how the season went for your team. So, yeah, I mean, we didn't have the wins and losses or as many wins as would have been ideal. But I think in general, the season went very well. Just from the perspective of the team dynamics, girls all fought hard and worked hard and learned and progressed through the season. Yeah, absolutely. I know one of the things I got from watching you guys this season is that there was, you know, pretty much in every game, you're competitive every game, always working hard to the end. And like you said, maybe while the results weren't there, the hard work and the, like you said, the culture and the temperament was there. Yeah, and it's difficult when you lose just by a small amount every time, just to come back and to keep fighting and to persevere like that. So I thought that showed a lot of heart with my team. Yeah, absolutely. As we go into the off-season, you know, obviously you lose your seniors and we talked about them on the last show. But, you know, what are you looking for from your returners to work on and to, you know, continue as you go into the spring non-traditional season and then into next fall? So I think obviously we've got Brookie Morris returning and she was definitely the quarterback, if you will, of our team. She always comes back fit and she always works hard in the off-season. So we anticipate her coming back and doing some great things for us again, her senior year. Yeah. And then, you know, we also have Caitlin Carnes, who basically didn't play very much at all, her freshman year. Right. And she came in and she was recognized second team. So I know that was surprising to her. Yeah. But she shows that she can do a lot of great things. She's going to need to work hard in the off-season just to fine-tune her attributes, like her speed, her ability to finish that sort of a thing. And then, you know, those were the names that were recognized. But we have a large group of other young ladies that really can help us out with the returning amount of kids we have. Yeah, absolutely. I know one of the things that, you know, you had a lot of people that may be sophomores and juniors this year that played a lot for the first time this year. So they've gotten a year of experience under their belt in game action. I think that can only help as you move forward. Absolutely. Yeah. So we had, you know, maybe not necessarily by year, but by experience, we had a young squad this year. Yeah, absolutely. All right, Coach. As always, we thank you for your time this whole season. We've enjoyed chatting and we'll catch up with you if not in the spring the next fall. Perfect. Thank you. All right. For Laurel Martin, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Laurel Martin Show.
