The injury bug hit Mauldin this year. A ACL, MCL, knee clean up (previous knee injury), foot (previous broken foot), and a player returning late in the year from a ACL injury in the fall. The last half of the year Mauldin had two forwards playing in the defense to fill in for the injuries. Even with all the injuries they came together and made a great run to the title game. Mauldin would love to have a "no excuse" year in 2009. Since Mauldin only had 2 seniors on this years team the future is bright. And with the Mauldin JV girls going undefeated this would lead one to believe they are ready for next year.



A "no excuse" year doesn't mean that you don't have injuries, it means that you don't use this or anything as an excuse. Everyone has injuries. The best teams are the ones that wear the bullseye that comes with being the highest ranked teams with pride and don't make excuses if and when they lose.
