Coach William Fairhurst had a few comments on the indoor season, " I was really pleased with the results of my first indoor season here at Highland CC. I'm impressed with the throwers on the women's team, they scored a lot of points for us. That helped us to an 8th place finish which is the highest indoor season finish in history for Highland. I am really looking forward to what these kids can do outdoors as well."
