I attended the Crosspoint/LaConner game on Saturday. The inexperience of the Crosspoint team is what beat them in my opinion. The LaConner girls were all older, and their greater experience paid off. Talent wise, Crosspoint was every bit as good, but the experience factor definitely tipped the balance in LaConner’s favor. If this Crosspoint team hangs together, they will be a force to reckon with for the next few years.
