The Golden Eagles are 3-11-1, but are playing the toughest schedule in Class 2A, and one of the top 10 toughest schedules across all classes. Guerin Catholic coach Sean Yau also is happy with the team’s progress, especially considering there are five freshmen and three sophomores on the Golden Eagles varsity team.
“The progress is probably the thing that makes me the happiest and the proudest, because despite us having so many losses, the girls come into training every single day, making sure that they’re going forward and they don’t look in the past and they keep trying to get better at the details,” said Yau after the St. Joseph game.
