Winter sports practices have officially started and the girls basketball team has a new freshman basketball coach, Haley Wolf.

“I am very excited for this season, especially since it is my first year coaching at Hays High,” Wolf said. “I think we have a talented group that works hard and we should be very competitive this year.”

Wolf also said that she hoped the team will continue to improve each day.

“I think our kids are excited and will work hard for us,” Wolf said. “Hopefully that will lead to a lot of wins this year.”

Wolf thinks the team had a solid first week of practice.

“We had two-a-days Monday through Wednesday this week and were able to work on a lot of things as well as start getting in shape,” Wolf said. “The girls are working hard and are improving each day, so I am very encouraged by the way things have gone so far.”
