The key returner is senior Taylor Counts who earned honorable mention All-Northwest District honors a year ago and is the only returner with postseason accolades to her credit. Fellow seniors Ka’Mashya Shaw, Olivia Kreger, Trista Jewell and Ella Shaffer will all see time in varsity action while juniors Katie Pollock and Eden Howard also return after contributing as sophomores a year ago.

Juniors Kennedy Weiler, Nissi Powers and Leila Stevens along with seniors Jahniya Likely and Willa Morris and sophomore Paradise Jeru all saw valuable time on junior varsity last year. The Warriors also had a very good freshman team consisting of Gracy Miller, Joelle Ly, Elaina Owens, Kenzie Goodlin, Hayden Sexton, Addi Puttman, Brinlee Kreger and Morgan Pearson and all of them have a chance to contribute as sophomores.

“We have quite a few newcomers and we expect they will all contribute right away,” Baxter said. “This is a brand new coaching staff so everything is different. We have a good group of girls this year and they have a positive outlook for the season.”
