Catching up with Senior 4-year varsity player Mauri Howell,  she thought that Rigby was a confidence booster. Howell said, “Um Rigby is always a pretty easy match. It gives you the confidence you need.” Mauri is looking forward to more competition that the Titans will face. “We have Capital next week; I am really excited because it is competition you have never seen before.”
