“I’m trying to get the girls to pick up from where they left off last year,” Miami Trace coach Kaleb Taylor said. “In the first couple of matches, we were still trying to find the groove, basically.

“The scores have been down, but, we’re improving,” Taylor said. “Getting them back into things, mentally, is the biggest thing. We need to work on our mental toughness, so we can compete at a higher level.

“At the beginning of the season, the girls came in and were kind of relaxed,” Taylor said. “Once we got through the first couple matches, the girls realized they weren’t winning the way they were last year, with that confidence. The girls are working really hard now.”

Miami Trace will be in action today at the Jonathan Alder Bash in Plain City.

Next week, Miami Trace will host McClain on Monday at 3:45 p.m. Miami Trace will not hit the lanes again until Dec. 19 in the Beast of the East tournament in Zanesville.
