2017-18 Sierra Vista Girls Basketball Capsule

SIERRA VISTA

Head coach: Gregory Harton, first season

2016-17 record: 12-11 (6-6 Southwest, fourth)

Returning letter winners (starters): Four (four)

Top players: G Alexis Hansen (Jr.), G Ashley Hansen (Jr.), F Shania Harper (Jr.), G Imani Burrel (Sr.)

Outlook: Harton takes over a team that qualified for the postseason last year and brings back four starters.

Harper (14.3 points, 8.4 rebounds per game) has the potential to be a force inside and should get help on the perimeter from Burrel (11.2 ppg, 3.8 steals per game), Alexis Hansen (3.1 ppg) and Ashley Hansen (1.9 ppg).

“We want to be as competitive as possible to make the playoffs,” Harton said.
