BEECH GROVE (3A, 6-17) – Three straight winning seasons until last year … lost nine games in row but reached sectional title game against Danville … fifth season with second-generation coach Kristin Raker … graduated three seniors, including true center Alexia Blakely 15.1 points per game, 16.0 rebounds per game … Hornets averaged 8.2 steals last year … opened this season with losses at 4A Roncalli and 2A Cascade … seven-deep with seniors, backcourt leaders 5-7 point guard Mya Crawford and 5-5 Romea Echols, plus 5-8 power forward Hannah Chandler, transfer Neashia Lee and 5-7 Lexi Ham and juniors, hard-nosed Tia O’Connor & 5-8 Jazz McKnight … 5-7 soph Christina Sorensen leads underclassmen … asst. coach/dad Gary Raker returns … schedule loaded with six 4A teams. 
​
Coach’s corner: “We came off a successful year but only won six games last year. We will rely upon our senior leadership and their experience; that’s what will carry us early in the season. We will challenge on defense again; our backcourt can get after it defensively. We still need to turn those turnovers into points. Our girls have worked on shooting drills and technique, so we can be stronger with the ball. We’re looking for our underclassmen to step up. I look for us to improve as we gain confidence. And we have to be able to finish games.”
