Jr. Erica Carter, 5-3 So. Hannah Schott, and 5-4 So. Vanessa

The

six players returning from last year’s squad which should enable the
Hilltoppers to notch more wins this season. The leading returining scorer is 5-1 Jr. Katie Sommer (12.8

the primary ballhandler. 5-6 Fr. Micah

also has an excellent freshman class moving up this year. The Pirates return three juniors along
the frontline in 5-10 Michelle Grayson, 6-0 Kendra Stumler, and
5-9 Kelsie Thrasher. Coach
Hall also expects key contributions from several players including 5-9 Jr. Kim
