Manual has depth this season with junior Arisa Kunkler, freshman Z’lishia Hankston, sophomore Maranda McDade and junior Jyah Taylor.
PictureManual seniors Shelby Staggs and Calynn Jackson bring height and quickness to the court. Jackson recorded a triple-double in her first game.
MANUAL (12-11) – Veteran coach Jim Sturgeon, formerly at Irvington and Howe, takes helm … Redskins had first winning season since 2003-04 last year under Katie Fisher … Manual was a dismal 49-136 in between winning seasons … Sturgeon has 23 years coaching experience … expects Redskins to build winning ways of last season … Pike transfer/team co-captain 6-0 Calynn Jackson can play anywhere … senior co-captain Shelby Staggs is a versatile newcomer … junior wing Jyah Taylor, freshman forward Z’lisia Hankston, sophomore center/forward Maranda McDade, guard Aris Kunkler and transfer Trinitee Johnson give Redskins a boost … hosted and won tipoff tourney Nov. 7, defeating Christel House 72-11 and Indy Metropolitan 49-44 … look for big improvement at Manual’s historic fieldhouse.

Coach’s comments: “We have a mix of new girls and girls who played here last year. We have some height and speed. We want the girls to play hard and understand what it takes to be a good basketball player. We will be able to score points and rebound but need them to play consistent defense. These girls can run. We opened up with a tourney so they could get some playing time early in the season.
