"Scarlett has been nothing less than phenomenal. She makes things happen. Anytime she has the ball, she can potentially go all the way. She is a great team player and very coachable. She will be the key to every team moving forward there is no doubt in my mind. Very proud of her and the success she has had. Best part as a coach is that she is only a sophomore!" – Calvary Coach Nick Grassi.
