Coach Mel Knobloch Said:
Tonight was a strong performance by the team, along with a few bobbles and obstacles that we can work out and correct for the next performance. It was a great opportunity for us to get out on the competition floor an extra time this week and receive valuable feedback and scores from the judges before heading into two more competitions this weekend. We were able to increase our scores from our home invite, and we are hoping to continue that trend throughout the rest of the weekend as well to help increase our overall average for our season! The girls are determined, and we are excited to see what we can all accomplish this year!
