Outlook:  “The senior captains listed above have been extremely helpful with our large group of freshman girls. The ninth grade class for us this year is tripled from last year and they and the rest of the team are working hard to get ready for our season. Our league is very challenging but we look to be competitive and qualify some of us on to the post-season. Janae and Maddie Ocamb had strong indoor seasons and look to bring more girls with them to Districts this May.”
