COACH NEFF'S TAKE
"Jacksonville hosted a great event and it was good to be a part of it. We showed glimpses of what we are capable of during the second round and it was really good to see Taylor put it together and shoot -2 and Arielle shoot even. We still have a ways to go but we are getting better and know it is a process. Looking forward to having two more tournaments in the next three weeks."
