<p>Senior and 4-year starter <strong>Jlynn Risner </strong><em>(Featured Photo) </em>will be the leader of this team. She battles hard inside, very active on the boards. Sammy Bamer is a junior. Kassidy Lyons, Grace McFann, and <strong>Abby Schug </strong>are all sophomores. Schug shoots the three ball very well, shows patience on the offensive end, and does a great job involving her teammates. <em>(Schug, below with ball)</em></p>

<p><strong>Keys to success: </strong>Coach Eric Bailey states: "With everything you are forced to squeeze into a practice, it is tough to schedule quality time for free-throws. It is easy to slip into a rut where you just have the players shoot a quick set of 50 free-throws to end practice, but not this season. Also, with that, another focus is going to be turnover percentage, which to me is the second most important factor of basketball success and we will start with those two areas. We have a lot to look forward to in the future at Rock Hill and this group is where it is going to start from. The Senior leadership will help and having Jlynn Risner provides excellent leadership and is a standout hard nose player, who knows how to control the tempo of a game. I am looking forward to Abby Schug and Sammy Bamer to making an immediate impact this season after having play varsity minutes last season. We have a very hard schedule this season and the OVC has two returning State tournament teams that are looking to get back to the State."</p>
