Last Season’s Record: 3-20

Coach Callan’s season outlook: “Our greatest strengths as a team are team chemistry and senior leadership. Our weaknesses are size, depth, and experience. Team members include Payton Bledsaw- a senior guard/post and letterwinner- she is our best allaround player; Reesa Wilcox- senior post; Dana Christen- junior guard and letterwinner our best defensive player; Masyn Arena - sophomore guard and letterwinner; Johanna Keyes - sophomore guard/ post- and letterwinner; Dana Chen- sophomore guard/post; Kelsay Bledsaw - sophomore guard/ post and letterwinner; Rebecca deKoning - freshman guard/post. I look for the team to improve every game and maximize their potential around subdistricts. I predict 4-6 wins if we can improve from day to day.”

Last Season’s Record: 7-17

Coach Platt's season outlook: “The strengths of our team this season are bench depth, experience and defense. Jennabella Vasco, Matilyn Stalder, Delayne Schuster, Carissa Allen, Katilyn Glathar, Alyssa Frey and Natalie Novak all return as letterwinners for us. Any of those players could have a very positive impact on any night. Our goals for the season to have a .500 record or better; to play hard defense and to be in every game. Falls City Sacred Heart and Lourdes Central Catholic will probably be our toughest competition.”
