“They were coachable and cerebral and that’s what makes them successful,” Guckenberger said. “They’re not the best athletes, but they play hard and they’ve got basketball IQ.”
She continued: “The leadership of Ally Becki, everything she did for us, she makes us so much better whether its passing, rebounding scoring. I mean, she’s one of the top players in the state and I think she proved that tonight.”
A complete photo spread and story of the state title game will be published in the Brownsburg/Danville edition of the Hendricks County ICON on March 5.
