I know teams like Freedom, Mcdowell and Hickory usually are pretty good. Watauga was a force last year. Does anyone know what Watauga brings back this year.

Stuart Cramer will be pretty solid again this year. O'Shauna Holland is back and that says enough. They will have to replace the other guard. Lost Womack to graduation and her thought to be replacement is a current JR. that got plenty of reps last season but decided to not play this year. They do return a 6'2" center as well.

I’m taking a wait and see approach with the Lady Patriots this year. They’ve got some ballers, but they relied too much on Payton Caldwell last year and she’s playing for Mars Hill now. Someone is going to have to step up into her role.

Hibriten girls beat Watauga girls easily. Pretty shocking result. Alexander Central girls beat East Burke pretty easy. East Burke may struggle this year

McDowell girls won big over Erwin, I doubt they are challenged until the Mallard Creek game in early December and the big tournament over in Cherokee.
