Coach: Tammy Anderson (ninth year)

Last year’s record: 17-3, lost in Western B semifinal

Returning players:  Seniors — Kristen Anderson (5-8 guard), Mariah Treadwell (5-5 guard), Jenna Cote (5-7 guard); Juniors — Meagan Dow (5-7 guard/forward), Brianna DeGone (5-5 guard), Kendra Gilbert (5-7 forward), Tatiana Sierra (5-7 guard/forward), Tasha Cloutier (5-5 guard).

Key losses: Sarah Frost (forward), Amanda Jordan (forward), Adrie Newton (forward), Kasidy Stevenson (forward).

Promising newcomers: Juniors — Sierra Santamango (5-7 forward), Melissa Richardson (5-4 guard), Lindsey Godbout (guard/forward); Freshman — Chantel Eells (5-10 forward).

Outlook: The Hornets return starting guards in Anderson and Treadwell. Anderson was a KVAC all-star while Treadwell stepped into a larger role last year. Leavitt graduated most of its experienced post play. Eells will provide some size inside while many of the swing players last year were on a undefeated JV team and could be ready for increased roles.

Coach’s comment: “We’ll be small and quick and once again be an up-tempo team that will be scrappy and tenacious.” — Coach Tammy Anderson
