[Justabasketballfan]

1 Zhane Snow- Must carry Concord in every aspect- plays offs will be a wish

2 Maggie Connolly- Will have to live up to the Gatorade player of the year with no Alisha Lewis

3 Lauren Park-Lane- She will have to play both ends of the floor for Sanford to compete

4 Bernyah Ward-Mayo- New team but the same issues of her having to do most of the scoring

5 Juie Kulesza- A year older and her and sister will have to get further in the play-offs

6 Lynnjay Brown- with-out help the wins won’t come, but her scoring will. She could be the best player no-one sees

7 Ronnasia Blatch-Huggins- sister is gone, she now will have to play more forward position to help rebound and score

8 Kayla Braxton-Young- can her and Ja-niah lead them deeper in the playoffs

9 Sha-nia Davis- new team. And could be part of one of the best back courts in the state

10 Kylie Kornegay-Lucas-

11 Na’leighia Wright- she will show more of a scoring threat in order for the team to make the jump to the elite 8 of the playoffs

12 Sasha Marvel - more scoring from her this year. They have the best chance of winning it with the cast around her

13 Zaria Newson- she is showing more versatility each year, but she must lead them deeper into the play offs

14 Logan Handy- scoring won't be a problem- the wins will be. She lead them to the play-offs- can she repeat?

16 Stephanie Kulesza- A year older and her and sister will have to get further in the play-offs

17 Maia Bryson- with Ursuline hurting with injuries and departures. this could be her year for her team to win it

NICE list! Zhane's definitely the top player coming back, I just hope she gets a chance to show her skills because she is a D-1 talent. Concord lost a lot, so clearly teams are gonna key on her. She was my favorite player that wasn't on Ursuline to watch last season.

Caravel has to be the preseason number 1 with all this talent. I honestly thought the Davis/Stanford/Morgan teams were good, but these girls might be certified dynamite.

Good list, I agree Caravel is the team to beat!
