Last year at this time LCA was coming off a 34-3 season and the defending state champions.  The lady Eagles returned four starters and many expected them to make another title run.  However they finished 22-7 and were knocked out in district play.  They suffered another loss this year when 6-1 center Clara Mitchell transferred back to East Jessamine for her senior season.

Coach Jason Seamands returns a lot of firepower this season and will be expected to capture the 11th region title and will be considered on of the best teams in the state.  5-9 Sr. Anna Martin is a smooth guard with the stregth to get to the basket and has great touch and range on her jump shot.  5-10 Sr. Courtney Clifton is an aggressive scorer who can put up points in bunches.  6-1 Jr. Sarah Beth Barnette is a versatile performer with an excellent outside shooting touch.

Other players expected to contribute include 5-4 Fr. Kelli Mitchuson, 5-10 Sr. Caitlin Dorton, 5-5 So. Rachel Cox, 5-11 Fr. Olivia Eastham, 5-9 Sr. Mimi Purdy, 5-5 Sr. Caitlin Panter, and 6-0 Fr. Kristin Jacob.  The Lady Eagles will miss the inside presence of Clara Mitchell and will have to develop a player rotation and achieve team chemistry.  The upside is that not many teams in the state can match the offensive firepower of Martin, Clifton, an Barnette.
