Outlook: We had a great preseason turnout before the winter sports programs were shut down. The coaching staff and players are very excited to play and worked very hard during the off season.

We have some good leadership and 3 out of our 4 top scorers returning. There will be some good competition for roles on the varsity team with some talented, dedicated, and coachable underclassmen.

What is the key to your season?  

We will need to limit turnovers, be patient on offense, and be aggressive on defense

Who are the top players on your team and why?

Brianna Moore: makes things happen on defense, she is very fast and aggressive, very athletic

Bethie Morgan: point guard, leader on the floor, makes everyone better, knows how to finish around the basket

Raegan Nemeth:  excellent 3 point shooter, a team player, very unselfish, hard worker
