Roberts is one of seven seniors on Jodi Roberts’ squad this season.
“These seniors have been to state for the past three years and they are hungry to win it in their last year in school,” said Roberts. “These seniors made it to state their freshman year but came in fourth. Then they won it the past two years. They are really humble about winning, just excited to be representing our school and what it means to win a state championship.”
