Kristin Hines is also a sophomore that will be a big factor for the Dragons, but their main difficulty overall as a team will be their lack of senior stability. A.I. duPont lost their head coach Donna Davis and Tracey Howell. Their hopes rest with Maine bound Monica Peterson and jnior LaTonya Shazier. Padua looks to have successfully rebuilt themselves after following their 1999 championship season to play with only one senior. Returning to make a run at St. Marks are seniors Erin Mills, Laura Taylor, Stephanie Lex and Ashleigh Brown and juniors Kirsten Patton, Katy Vogels, and Emily Reardon.
Mills is one of the top guards in the state.
Ursuline only lost two seniors from last year's team and will still be rather young this year. But Alexis Henderson makes this team tough all by herself. Add the tenacity of senior Sarah Boltz, and a talented freshman who made an impact as an eighth grader in Kate Mills, and the Catholic Conference looks like a tough one. We will hear alot about this sophomore is the weeks to come. Sussex Central and Sussex Tech will, no doubt, fill some seats when they play each other this year.
