   “No matter the outcome at state this year, I feel as though we definitely had a successful season,” said Shateah Wetering of Montezuma. “State is always a great experience and I am so thankful I was given the opportunity to be able to play the game I love. It was an amazing four years filled with so many memories with such special girls. I'm very sad it's over, but once again thankful that I will be able to play at the next level at the University of Iowa. And one last shoutout to the great community we have, everyone really made it special for us seniors.”
