So, that’s a big success for me personally, and then as a team, honestly, just coming out and playing the way we did.

Our whole thing this year is: ‘energy, effort, attitude.’ So, just making sure we’re focusing on that, keeping that up,” Bibb said, “Honestly, I’m just really proud of how far we’ve come from the start. Like I said in a past interview before, with a new coach coming in, it’s kind of difficult seeing that shift and that change. So, just seeing the way that we’ve adapted with it, and then going into this, the first half and now the second part of the season, just seeing that, and seeing how we’re adapting was really good.” Bibb is very proud of how far they’ve come so far.
