A region title and Sweet 16 run was a welcomed surprise for Habersham Central. Despite a young roster with several who had never played a varsity minute, this Lady Raiders group thrived and now sets the expectations even higher as nearly everyone returns. Coach Brianna Webb enters her first year over the program, though she’s been a part of it for a long time (2020-24), and is a former Lady Raider who was a standout on the court.
