“It was awesome. Just the whole atmosphere that night (Friday) was amazing. You couldn’t pick a better night for my last home and last district game. It was just amazing and the crowd was awesome”, said Steinhoff.
“Playing my last home game and winning districts, I don’t know I’m kind of lost for words. It was so cool to see all the people come out and support us”, said Kallmeyer. “When coach took us out, realizing we are going to win another district title - it’s an amazing feeling and looking across the gym and seeing all that green, your like this is so real.”
