Words From Coach Worman:
"We continue to build and grow. The team is embracing a lot of new skills, processes and ways of thinking about doing things. Any time you do something new, it takes a while to perfect them and make them readily available all the time. We saw some really good high points today and everyone was very dedicated and focused in coming back to the new tools. Today was another glimpse into the good things to come."
