She is a skilled floor general with a high basketball IQ, and she combines competitiveness with poise. Her ability to handle pressure, make reads, and get her teammates involved sets the tone for the Lady Leopards' offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Trenity Jenkins-Gaines</strong> (5'4/G/'26/Mobile Christian)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Trenity is the senior leader of the group and she brings scoring, athleticism, and experience to the backcourt. She is a confident shooter and vocal presence, has the ability to settle her team when things get tight, and take over when needed. Her leadership will be a driving force behind Mobile Christian's success this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Hadley Kelly</strong> (6'1/F/'27/Mobile Christian) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Hadley is the team's interior anchor. With her length, timing, and motor, she protects the rim as a really good shot-blocker and finishes efficiently around the basket. Her toughness and relentless effort make her one of the most dependable frontcourt players in the program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Key Role Players to Watch:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1279697' first='Ema' last='Bacon']</strong> (5'5/G/'28/Mobile Christian)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ema is a true microwave scorer who can heat up in a hurry. Whether spacing the floor as a shooter or bringing energy off the bench, she forces defenses to stay honest. Her confidence and spark make her an X-factor for the Lady Leopards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Madelyn Bell</strong> (5'7/G|F/'28/Mobile Christian)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Maddie is the glue player every coach loves to have. She is a versatile wing, who impacts the game with deflections, hustle plays, and 50/50 ball wins. She is unselfish on offense but has the tools to score when needed. Her presence brings balance and stability to the lineup.</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">Kai Wright (PG / 9th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Trenity Jenkins-Gaines (G / 12th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Madelyn Bell (G|F / 10th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Hadley Kelly (F|C / 11th 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">Sydney Nelson (C / 9th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Milan Wright (PG / 7th Grade)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>What To Expect From The Lady Leopards This Season:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The Lady Leopards will play an uptempo, pressure-based style built on creating chaos defensively and capitalizing on transition opportunities. They thrive on playing fast, applying constant ball pressure, and attacking opponents strategically. Off the floor, their team identity is rooted in family and accountability, which fuels their chemistry and togetherness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>What Will It Take for The Lady Leopards To Win State?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">For Mobile Christian, the path to a deep postseason run starts with defense. If they can consistently defend at a high level, stay healthy, and trust one another in big moments, this group has the talent and leadership to make another run to the regional finals, and potentially beyond.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
