MUNCIE, Ind. — When asked what the goal is for her team this season, first-year Cowan coach Melissa-Paul Gardner doesn’t hesitate.
“Win state,” Gardner said. “I mean, I know that sounds high and mighty, but that’s always going to be my end goal. I understand that first comes sectional, then comes regional and hopefully we’ll win all those, but those are just stepping stones.”
Gardner knows it’s a lofty expectation, with Cowan’s only state championship coming in 2012.
