Though the team has a new look on the court and sidelines North Country has continued their winning ways, with a 6-0 record. LaBrie was asked about the team's success so far.

"I'd say the key to our success is just learning, because it's a totally different team," LaBrie said. "It's not a new offense, but our new offense is our new starters and reserves and figuring everybody out and trying to share the ball. Just figuring everybody out, I guess I'd say."

The team was under the direction of assistant coaches Shon Simonson and Heidi McColly.

"Coach Simonson is a really smart, really smart guy. And it's kind of nice seeing his different perspective on the game, because I'm so used to coach Erickson's and I like all my coaches, but it's nice to have a new perspective for once," LaBrie said. "So that's the good thing about having all these co-op coaches is, you get many different ideas from many different coaches, from different schools and places."

In the Lady Mavs' win over Frazer, B. McColly had a game-leading 20 points. LaBrie had 15 points. Downing had nine points. C. McColly had six points, Erickson had six points, Wasson had five points, Bear had four points, and K. McColly had three points.
