2015-16 Desert Pines Girls Basketball Capsule

DESERT PINES

Head coach: Lonnie Cambell, third season

2014-15 record: 9-18 (7-7 Sunrise, fifth)

Returning letter winners (starters): Eight (five)

Top players: G Chrystian Myles (Sr.), G Jordan Bailey (Sr.), F See'Airrah Evans-Collins (Jr.)

Outlook: The Jaguars narrowly missed the playoffs last year, finishing with the same record as fourth-place Sunrise Mountain, but losing the tiebreaker.

With five starters back, including Myles (11.5 points, 2.5 assists per game), Bailey (11.9 ppg) and Evans-Collins (9.5 ppg, 14.4 rebounds per game), Desert Pines is set up for a big season.

"We're looking to make the playoffs and finish in the top three of our league," Cambell said. "We're looking for a great season."
