STRENGTHS GOING INTO THIS SEASON:
We have good size, length, and athleticism. We hope to be strong defensively and on the boards. We have a cohesive group of girls that play well together. They get along both on and off the court!

KEYS TO HAVING A SUCCESSFUL SEASON:
We will need to replace 4 high quality senior leaders from last year’s team. In order to have a successful season, we will need some of our girls to take some leaps scoring wise. Improving how we handle pressure will also be key to having a good year in a loaded section.
