“Kenzie Knuckles might be undersized, but she's not under-hearted. The kid is a melding of desire and physical ability. If you single blocked her, she scored. If you doubled her, she still scored, and if you tripled, then they'd set someone else with a wide open net. We tried to attack anywhere she wasn't, then added 15 feet to that.”
