The season starts Saturday at 3pm in Lafayette against Analy. Expectations are high for this year’s team, as the girls return everyone after going 25-4 and winning NCS D2 last season. In preseason rankings WestCoastPreps.com has the team #10 in the Bay Area, while NorCalPreps.com ranked the girls #14 in all of Northern California. On an individual basis – per WestCoastPreps – reigning Diablo League MVP (and current sophomore) KK Lacanlale was ranked as the #24th best player in the Bay Area to start the season. Sophomore Sophie Chinn who was a unanimous 1st team Diablo League Selection was ranked #40 in these same rankings.
The non-league schedule is very tough, starting next week at the Marin Catholic Invitational where several ranked teams are in the field. Just before Christmas the girls travel to Arizona for the most recognized Tournament in the country, the Nike Tournament of Champions. Next up is the West Coast Jamboree after Christmas. The tough non-league schedule is expected to prepare the girls for playoffs. Come out and support the team in what should be a very exciting and memorable season.
