“I am super impressed with our Lady Eagles performance today against some really good region one teams that we will be up against soon for a chance to make the state tournament,” Apollo head coach Kerrie Franklin said. “We wanted to leave with some hardware and a top two finish showing that we are a contender for the region and getting back to state to represent region one and the girls did just that.”
