Coach’s quote: “Elle is a young lady who plays the game with high energy. A four-year letterwinner and a three-year starter and a captain, Elle is a leader in the school and on the court. Elle is the young lady who makes us go on both sides of the ball. She loves to be challenged. I have had athletes in my 25 years who were outstanding defenders. I put Elle at the top of that list. Elle will be missed, but she has shown the underclass athletes what it will take to be able to get on the floor next year.”
