Saint James Lady Trojans   Class 3A Area 5       Head Coach: Katie Barton   Last Season Record: 33-3 (According to maxpreps.com)   IG: stj_lady_trojan_basketball   X: @STJWBB    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   Key Players:   [player_tooltip player_id='981283' first='Natalie' last='Barton'] (5'8/PG/'27/St. James)   IG: natbarton_2027   X: @natbarton_2027   Natalie is the unquestioned leader and floor general of the Lady Trojans. She brings really good court vision and passing skills to the floor, and she consistently makes those around her better. She led the team in points, assists, steals, blocks, and deflections last season, a true all-around contributor. Natalie set the school record for made threes in a season with 110 and brings unmatched energy, vocal leadership, and defensive intensity every time she steps on the court.   [player_tooltip player_id='1207423' first='Morgan' last='Lilly'] (5'7/PG/'29/St. James)   IG: m_lilly2029   X: @MorganL2029   Morgan is a dynamic young guard with a high ceiling. She is a natural playmaker who thrives with the ball in her hands. She is a three-level scorer with elite quickness, speed, and change-of-direction ability. Her ability to create for both herself and her teammates puts constant pressure on opposing defenses.   [player_tooltip player_id='1165218' first='Kaitlin' last='Mitchell'] (5'9/CG/'28/St. James)   IG: Kaitlinmitchell_2028   X: @Kmitchell_2028   Kaitlin is one of the team's most versatile scorers, and can fill it up from deep as well as take defenders off the bounce. She is also a strong, switchable defender who can guard multiple positions. She is a true two-way threat with a natural feel for the game.   [player_tooltip player_id='1207426' first='Jordyn' last='McRae'] (5'11/G|F/'29/St. James)   IG: jordynmcrae_2029   X: @MorganL2029   Jordyn is a high-motor player who led the team in rebounding last season. Her length and athleticism allow her to guard both on the perimeter and in the post. She is a true glue player, who plays unselfishly and consistently impacts the game on both ends of the floor. She is also more than capable of getting a timely bucket when the team needs one.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   Senior Leaders To Keep An Eye On:   Sydney Johnston (G/'26/St. James) and KK Corley (G/'26/St. James) are the only two seniors on the team and bring invaluable experience and leadership. Both are capable spot-up shooters who will stretch the defense when opponents key in on the Lady Trojans top scoring options. More importantly, their ability to lock down top scorers on the defensive end will be a difference-maker throughout the season.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   The Lady Trojans' Identity & Summer Focus   The Lady Trojans return their entire roster from last season and are locked in on building upon their strong foundation. With chemistry, experience, and continuity on their side, this group is poised for a breakout summer that will lead into next season.   Their identity is rooted in team-first basketball, with a commitment to competing hard, defending at a high level, and playing with energy. With their depth, leadership, and firepower, they are one team ready to challenge for the state title.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   Here's Where You Can Find The Lady Trojans In June:   June 6th:  Samford University   June 7th: University of Tennessee-Chattanooga   June 9th: UAB   June 16th: University of North Alabama   June 18th: University of Alabama   June 20th: University of South Alabama
