ìThe tougher competition gives us a good indication of how our team is compared to other section teams and where we need to be by the end of the season,î Jensen said.
He added that the team will be working especially hard this week, preparing for the Great River Conference tournament on Friday.
ìHopefully the busy schedule that our kids have been involved in the last week will prepare us.î
