Coach Josh Bateman:
“Marleigh as a basketball player for us [and] is kind of the do-it-all player. She led us in points, rebounding, assists, steals. She guards the best player every night. She's well-rounded. She’s not a kid that rests on the defensive end. She wants that job of guarding the best player and she’s a very competitive kid. That’s probably her biggest quality to me – she goes out and competes."
