[Cooper starts her second year as head coach Tuesday night when the Colts visit Class 4A Cienega, feeling much more confident.] I still don't think I could do it without (assistant coach J.J. Ramage,) ... He works with them in the club season too. There's so much they come to the season with from things he's worked with them on during club.

Aggressive serving is more important in boys. Passing is a skill that seems harder for boys to develop so I think aggressive serving can be more of a tool.

It was nice to win against Mountain View — they're definitely in a rebuilding mode like we are. Our chemistry as a team has gotten much better, we're really hustling down balls.
