LUTHERAN – (1A, 6-18) – Saints graduated leader Rylee Morris (15.8 points per game) & Mariah Mielke … Saints already hit hard by injuries – senior Chloe Andre and soph Anna Caster, each ACL, & senior Autumn Robson & freshman Emily March, each shoulder … juniors Quinn Johnson, Katie McKinley & Jocey Sneed to be counted on early … juniors Kayla Dillinger, Becca Caston & Katie Newport new to varsity … senior Olivia Jackson at center … coach Joe Morgan in 15th season ponders where points will come from … look for a truly slow start.
Coach’s comments: “This season will be challenging. This is a totally different team than it was a year ago, even a few months ago. I have four players with long-term injuries. Chloe Andre will miss the entire season and I’m not sure when, or if, the others will return. We hope to have two players back sometime. Early-on, the girls will be doing a lot of free-lancing, so I can see what they can do with the ball. I like what I see in the ways these girls get-along and want to play with each other. They seem to play smart and they listen. They are talkative on the court. Our progress will be slow. The goal is to get through the season, so we can be ready for the sectional.”
