Also a good shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Underclassmen To Keep An Eye On</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1234275' first='Addi' last='Hegyi'] , 2027- She had an excellent summer and look for her to make an impact this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='834824' first='Lola' last='Rice'],2027- looks to get after it defensively and expect her to improve on her efficency this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olivia MacKendrick, 2027- all around looking for Liv to make a big impact and being more consistent this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024-25 Games to Watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Greenon- will play them in the 4 Decade Tip off Classic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Versailles - with 3 girls over 6 foot it is going to be a tough match up for us.&nbsp; Looking for big guard play this game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harvest Prep- traditional power from Central Ohio</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
