Head coach Kimberly Hixon commended Harpring on her 45-point game in the semifinals of the Georgia 6A postseason tournament on Mar. 4, 2024:
"We knew she had it in her. She's put us on her back before and she's done a really good job with it. We just didn't realize there was going to be a stage that big. To take over just shows you her maturity, obviously, athleticism, preparation," Hixon said.
