“We’ve played together in the past, in rec. and in middle school, but we’re really excited about being on playing varsity together,” Maria said. “She plays up to my level and she’s as good as anyone on the team, so a lot of times I’m harder on her because I forget she’s a freshman. And she definitely lets me know when I’m hard on her. But I definitely like having her on the team and we work really well together.”
“Both girls complement each other very well,” Franzyshen said. “Maria is our best returning scorer from last year and Kristen is starting as a freshman, so they both have a lot to handle. However, I think both of them playing together and being there for each other has helped to ease that pressure.”
