The only two other returning players on the roster, sophomore guards Rita Adams and Nikki Young, will both be vying for the point guard spot. She finished the year with averages of 2.8 points and 1.3 assists. Young averaged only 0.3 points last year but was given the team's Spirit Award for her positive attitude in practice. The incoming freshman with the biggest reputation is Helm, the 6-4 center from Warren Central High School. Another freshman, Aisha Bonets, will back up Helm.
Freshman also figure to start at both shooting guard and small forward.
Adams could contend there as well. McDole may play some here as well. Overall, Mattox thinks her team is taller, more versatile and ultimately more talented than her previous squads. Of course, the group is also young enough to be in diapers. Call them the Kiddy Cats.
