Strengths: We return three starters from a state semifinal team last year, including the 2-time WBL Player of the Year, and have 3 seniors on the team that has been to state every year so far.
Weaknesses: Concerns will be finding the right blend of players to replace the leadership and experience provided by our departed players, all while playing a pretty tough schedule.
Coach’s Comments: “Our schedule has been strengthened yet again to test us. We have holes to fill but we have girls that have been here a while and have waited their turn for this chance. We have a strong returning nucleus; we just need to find the right mix of players to play with them. The league looks to be very competitive with the top five or six teams all being able to play with each other.
