2018-19 Palo Verde Girls Basketball Capsule

PALO VERDE

Head coach: Phil Clarke, 11th season (129-128 career at PVHS)

2017-18 record: 5-18 (2-10 Northwest/tied sixth)

Returning letter winners (starters): Seven (three)

Top players: G Alyssa Maillaro (So.), F Kedrena Johnson (Sr.), G Maya Bega (So.)

Outlook: The Panthers remain young this season, but have plenty of talent.

Maillaro (13.2 points, 4.2 rebounds per game) and Bega (12 ppg) lead a group of seven returning letter winners.

“It’s a young group with only two seniors,” Clarke said. “It’s a hard working group of girls, and we hope to be competitive, gain experience, and improve each game as the season goes on.”
