White County has been a powerhouse as of late, and last year’s 22 wins and Sweet 16 made for one of the best seasons in school history. Coach Steve Shedd has to reset the offense specifically after losing stars Kylie Watkins and Emma Lightsey. But there’s depth galore, and it’s next player up as a new season arrives.
