"For the most part, if you asked the girls what our record was, they could tell you the zero, but they probably couldn't tell you the number of wins," says coach John Gaier, "These kids have had success for quite some time. This isn't rare air for them."
"They've done a great job of being real focused and just playing a day at a time."
Seniors on the team include Sheila Opelt, Mallori Sydorowicz and Allison Sydorowicz.
Neillsville has outscored their opponents 961 to 349.
