Lander Head Coach Omar Wattad was available today.
I asked Coach about his team.
“It's never just one thing, but ultimately it 100% falls on the players first. And we have a bunch of really good ones that love one another and pull for one another.”

Evina Westbrook (@evinawestbrook) joined the Mystics on June 27.
Since @azzi_35 is from the area, I asked Evina is she’s had the chance to reach out to her.

“It means a lot.”
