“Tori Williams is the most competitive player I have ever coached. It does not matter if it's a drill, practice or game, she refuses to lose. More than once this season, she came over to me at the bench, looked me in the eye and said `we are not losing this game.' Every time I believe her and every time she has been right, including in the state championship.”
