Bullitt East (Region 6) – Coach Chris Stallings’ Lady Chargers finished 15-17 last season and should be very competitive this season with the added experience. 5-4 Jr. PG Emily Fryman has started the last two seasons and is a very capable floor leader. 5-9 8th grader Lindsey Duvall is the leading returning scorer and 6-0 So. Kylee Willis started last season and is the second leading returning scorer. 5-10 Jr. Courtney Pfister had a solid summer and fall and is expected to be a solid contributor.
