Kent City Focused on Growth and March Success

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kent City enters the new season with confidence and purpose after a productive offseason filled with growth and commitment. Last year, the Eagles captured both the conference and district titles after coming up short the previous season, continuing a program legacy that includes back-to-back trips to the Breslin and six consecutive district championships before a brief drought. With a team that has embraced a challenging schedule to prepare for March, Kent City is ready to showcase its energy, skill, and championship pedigree once again, giving the community another exciting season of basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.mhsaa.com/schools/kentcity/girls/varsity/basketball/2025">https://www.mhsaa.com/schools/kentcity/girls/varsity/basketball/2025</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1267368"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-690d0658b4385"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">"Last year Laynee earned BCAM All State Honorable Mention honors after averaging 9 points, 3 Assists, 3 rebounds and 4 steals per game.
