DURANGO
Head coach: Bill Thompson, fifth season
2015-16 record: 3-18 (0-8 Southwest, fifth)
Returning letter winners (starters): Two (two)
Top players: F Rianne Lu (Sr.), F Laila Loring (So.)
Outlook: The Trailblazers are starting almost completely fresh this year with just two letter winners back.
Lu (6 points, 8 rebounds per game) and Loring (5 ppg, 8 rpg) are the only two holdovers from last year’s squad and hope to bring the newer players along.
“We have a really young team with a lot of new and first-time players,” Thompson said. “We are looking to give these new team members a chance to gain some experience early in the year so that they can compete as the year moves on.”
