<p>The big question is can LaVega repeat and with much of the nucleus back from last season's State Championship team, I guess the easy answer would be yes. I've already highlighted a couple of their players from the Sandra Meadows Classic, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='833823' first='Mimi' last='Willis'] (Northwestern State)</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='309654' first='Kiyleyah' last='Parr'] (Wichita State)</strong> from the <strong><em><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/01/seniors-sending-messages-sandra-meadows-classic-pt-2/">event </a></mark></em></strong>yet there are others </p>
