Just watched the practice here in Pendleton, and Jude really stood out--great passing, shooting, and speed really shows as a H.S. Coach sitting next to me was inmpressed with mostly her speed with the ball. Sarah Hammonds looked pretty good despite missing 6 sets of Ft's at the end, I got to talk to her briefly about it lol, she said that was the first time it happened "ever" ha. Overall, I think Lady Cards will be deep. I asked my daughters and their friends if they wanted to leave or stay and try for autographs, they said "stay!!". We did, alot of ppl left, and we were prepared with T's and markers as other ppl were their didnt have anything to sign with, so we were very fortunate. Reading about UL playing WSU is good news! I will be there and PDX. My girls were excited and I was pumped to get to meet Coach Walz.--Umatilla23
