Junior David Thaggard said he feels good about the upcoming matches. “Advancing to north state with MSMS feels great. It’s just proof that we do compete with sports and recreational activities. It was not my first experience with a high level of competition. I had good competition at my old school as well. And we will practice harder to prepare for our next match.”
