Glen Flanagan knew early he would enjoy coaching this year’s Woodland team.
It was the second day of practice, to be exact.
“We were like wow, we’re doing things we weren’t doing until week three or four last year,” Flanagan said. “It’s a really positive group and a really intelligent group. They hustle all over.”
Woodland has just two seniors — McKenna Flanagan and Dana Glovick. But sophomores Payten Foster and Nicole Guthrie have become key members of a frontcourt that has generated most of Woodland offense in the early season.
Guthrie, Foster and Glovick combined for 56 points in a win over Castle Rock. The trio tallied 51 in a win over Hudson’s Bay.
McKenna Flanagan is the team’s best defender and will usually be tasked with containing the top opposing guard.
“Our focus is just to get better every day,” Glen Flanagan said. “This is a fun group and they love each other. It’s fun to coach them.
