Question Marks:
How quickly can our inexperienced players grow into supportive roles and contribute?
Can we stay healthy with our small varsity roster?
Can we improve defensively as a team, and will we rebound with the same passion that we score?
Outlook: “BRIGHT! This core group of key returners are ready! Emily Wilson and Izzy Elizondo are the real deal. Emily is the ultimate team leader who understands how to facilitate and can also score at will if that is something that needs to be done. Izzy is impossible to guard. She is a pure shooter who can attack the basket and create contact. These two play off each other so well and have been together since third grade. Ella Dudick is coming into her own and is ready for a big senior year. Her confidence is growing each day. Kayla Fannell has been tremendously effective on both ends in our short preseason. Our goal is to assimilate our newer players as quickly as possible so we can compete for a league and a district title.”
