Coming off a State Runner-Up campaign, the Lady Leopards return three starters in hopes of putting together more magic in 2025-26. This team can shoot, and will have great ball control as well.
PRESEASON INFO

Offense: “We will play up tempo and aggressive on both ends of the court,” says Gibson.
Strengths: “Shooting along with size and physicality.”
Biggest Challenges: “Graduated a big portion of our offense from last year – getting our young girls to step up and replace what we graduated.”
“We are looking to develop chemistry and define roles during the early portion of our schedule so that we can be ready to compete in our extremely tough Region 8A-DI,” says Gibson. “Identifying weakness and turning them into strengths will be important as we look to compete in our region and hopefully make another run in the state tournament.”
