Coach’s comments: “This season could go either way. We can be a very good basketball team if everyone comes together, stays healthy and supports one another. We have a lot of question marks. I think all the pieces are there to be very competitive. A lot of girls are back who had some playing experience last year. We have some girls who play multi-sports, so it will take us awhile to catch up. We’re not big or small. I would like to put defensive pressure on the basketball and make good decisions on offense.”
