Her athleticism fuels her defensive play, while her explosive first step makes her difficult to contain offensively. She consistently puts pressure on the rim and sets the tone with her two-way impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Anna Murray</strong> (5'7/PG/'27/Gulf Shores)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Anna returns for her second season as the team's floor general. The junior point guard has grown in confidence and maturity, showing improved decision-making and ball security. This season, she is ready to expand her role as both a scorer and facilitator.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Taylor Bjogum</strong> (5'5/G/'26/Gulf Shores)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Taylor is an offensive-minded guard who stretches defenses with her perimeter shooting. She has also developed a reliable midrange game, making her a consistent scoring threat from multiple levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Key Role Players to Watch:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Olivia Morroni</strong> (5'10/F/'28/Gulf Shores)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Olivia is a young but promising talent whose versatility stands out. At 5'10, she creates matchup problems with her ability to contribute both inside and on the perimeter. The coaching staff expects her impact to grow steadily, with the potential to become an elite scorer as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Lila Kaiser</strong> (G/'27/Gulf Shores)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Lila gained valuable varsity experience last season and has made noticeable strides during the offseason. Her length and athleticism allow her to be a factor as a rebounder, defender, and scorer. She is poised to play a much larger role in the Dolphins' rotation this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Returning Starters:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Kate Cimino (G/12th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Anna Murray (G/11th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Taylor Bjorgum (SG/12th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>New Additions:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Kena Hager (11th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Caitlynn Sexton (11th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Lily Harris (11th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Lila Kaiser (1th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">All four bring familiarity with the program and are ready to step in as juniors to contribute at the varsity level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Keylee Brock</strong> ('26/Gulf Shores)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">A senior guard who has grown within the program and now brings speed and toughness as a defensive stopper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Olivia Morroni</strong> (10th Grade)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">A sophomore forward who is ready to carve out her role as an interior presence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jasmine Caldwell</strong> (10th Grade)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">A sophomore who will be counted on to provide depth and production in key moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>What To Expect From The Lady Dolphins This Season:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Coach Sexton's squad will be built on toughness, starting with aggressive team defense and a commitment to controlling the glass. Offensively, the Lady Dolphins will look to push the pace and play an up-tempo style, using their athleticism to generate transition opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>What Will It Take for The Lady Dolphins To Win State?</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">To make a deep playoff run, the Lady Dolphins will need to rebound as a collective unit and win the battle on the boards. Shooting efficiency, particularly from beyond the arc, will also be critical to their postseason success. If they can execute in both areas, Gulf Shores has the tools to contend at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1313961,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/09/PGH-Expo-2025.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1313961" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">🏀 <strong>Join Us for the #PGHTheExpoAL Camp! </strong>🏀</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Are you ready to take your game to the next level?
