Outlook:  “Have goals of competing to win our new division in the SOL, and hopefully challenge for a SOL, District and State titles. Realistically, we are just excited to be back to playing basketball. Very empty feeling having our season end the way it did last year. Luckily we have everyone back, but opportunities are not guaranteed. We have a very experienced, athletic, and talented roster to start the season. It is great to see Lainey Allen able to return (injured almost all of last season) as well as the growth of our younger players (Daley, Sharpe, and Evans). Thankful to our district for giving us the chance to have a season, now it is up to us to make the most of it.”
