Strengths/Question Marks:  Strengths are our team speed and defense. Question mark is our youth.  

Outlook  “The Lady Ghosts lost a good portion of their team to graduation with only two players who saw significant varsity minutes returning. However, by adding freshman Deja Rawls and sophomore Michael Harris to already talented and strong Aiyannah Peal and Sarah Listenbee, the Ghosts could shock some people down the line.  We would like to compete for our league, make districts and states.”
