Each and every year this ball club seems to be in conversation to finish in the top part of their district. They may not always have top-tier talent, but are  coached up and ready to compete. A lot of people may write them off, but it always seems that this school has just what it takes to weather any storm. So when I say fly high Lady Eagles, these girls always seem to be ready and equipped to take on any opponent.   I will say this, last year got away from them. It was supposed to be their year, but there was a lot of  uncertainty and distractions that kept them from reaching their goals. They were 18-14 overall, 9-5 in the district. They battled injuries and other things, yet still overcame to finish 2nd in their district. The year before that, they were 23-6, 11-3 in the district, also finishing second. This year, do they have what it takes to finish at the top part again? In my opinion they do and will shock a lot of schools who may underestimate them.   The Lady Eagles have a balanced attack. These young ladies can knock it down from the perimeter, or use their creativity to attack the rim. They have different weapons on the floor that allow them to create mismatches that they can exploit. Most don't give them credit for, is there tenacious defense. They have the guards that can pick you up for court. They have the size that poses a threat if they are in a zone. If they start trapping, this is when it gets fun, because they usually turn over the opponent, which leads to easy transitional buckets. They may not have the numbers like a traditional program, but understand that these young ladies are fierce competitors who get after it because they are passionate about the game of basketball.    Look for these young ladies to have a sensational year. They may not be in conversation with those at the top of the class, but mind you they're going to lace up their shoes, each and every night and compete the entire ballgame.
