Dave Ellerbee's 2017-2018 Outlook…

On the Roster: "Jaquay Williams is my only returning player from last year's team.  She will play the small forward position this season.  Her basketball IQ will allow her to utilize her size to create for others and take advantage of mismatches on the court."

 

"Alize Felton and Kiara Stoval are freshman.  These electrifying combo guards will share the role as primary ball handlers.  Alize is a proven naturally gifted talented athlete, who has already proven her worth on the soccer field.  Kiara is a speedy, high IQ guard.  Both possess the ability to make others around them better."

 

On the Schedule: "Region XIX is a very tough, competitive region. Our schedule is packed with other ranked teams, but, I believe this young, talented, hard-working group of energetic young ladies will grab the 'bull by the horns' and hit the schedule head on."


Overall: "This is a very exciting season for me.  I am blessed to have an opportunity to start my first full season with a hard working talented roster and an experienced, dedicated assistant.  We are young and small but are full of heart and vigor.  I am looking forward to leading these beautiful young ladies that have dreamed to have the chance to play college basketball. Here's their chance!  Time to make the most out of it!"
