PERRY MERIDIAN (6-16) – Trying to come back from an off year … graduated six seniors … leading scorers 5-6 soph Melody Johnson (12.0 ppg, 6.1 rpg) and 5-11 junior Sadie Hill (11.5 ppg, 7.3 rpg) return … 6-3 soph Caitie Baird keeps improving, can play multiple positions … Bloomington North transfer Destiny Thurman at point guard … third-year guard Mandi Martin adds experience … depth must be found … 11 more wins and coach Mike Armstrong hits 400-win plateau … fell to Roncalli 56-53 in spirted opener.
Coach’s comments: “Last year we did not win like we have in the past, and that had to do with the quality of the teams we played and our lack of experience. We have our two leading scorers back. We are still a fairly young team. We want to put a team on the court who can move, pass, have a good opportunity to score and maybe have some speed and quickness. We’re going to have to find and build some depth.”
