Comments
I observed the tryouts and I thought eight of the players chosen were obvious with the remaining four being a little harder to pick. Other players that were not chosen who impressed me included Mykal Farris (Ashland Blazer), Rianna Gayheart (Owen County), and Kristen Jacob (Lexington Christian Academy). The ladies all gave an excellent effort but it was obvious that several were not in the best condition as the season ended weeks earlier. Also, several of the girls were faced with the dilemma of the tryouts and their school prom being on the same day. This team will be lacking in height but should have good team quickness and defensive tenacity.
