DANVILLE — Anthony Figueroa texted his sophomores after Thursday night’s loss to Triton College in the NJCAA Division II National Championship quarterfinals.
Parkland’s pursuit of a national championship was finished. The loss to the top-seeded Trojans dropped the Cobras into the consolation bracket.
What Figueroa wanted to know was how his five sophomores wanted to finish their Parkland careers.
With another loss?
Or with a shot to end the season on a win and a fifth-place national trophy?
Figueroa had used 17 different lineups this season, a deep team giving him the flexibility to try different combinations and find what worked the best.
