LAKE MEAD

Head coach: Karen Yamzon, seventh season

2016-17 record: 9-14 (6-10 2A Southern, sixth)

Returning letter winners (starters): Seven (five)

Top players: G/F Allee Butz (Sr.), G Lauryn Freund (Jr.), G Jillian Morejon (Sr.), F Aaliyah Perkins (So.), G Shelbi Shaw (Jr.), G/F Josey White (Sr.)

Outlook: The Eagles welcome back seven letter winners, including a full starting lineup, from last year’s squad.

“This year, we have the most experienced team we’ve had in quite a while and are looking to move forward from where we left off last season,” Yamzon said. “Although we still have a lot work ahead of us, we are striving for our level of competitiveness to exceed last year, and our experience to give us that extra push we’ve been looking for.

“We are committed to work hard and persevere, and look for several players to evolve and provide great contributions to our team.”
