2018-19 Centennial Girls Basketball Capsule

Head coach: Karen Weitz, 19th season (564-53 career at Centennial)

2017-18 record: 29-3 (12-0 Northwest/first)

Returning letter winners (starters): Nine (four)

Top players: G/F Eboni Walker (Sr.), G Mel Isbell (Sr.), G/F Daejah Phillips (Jr.), G Taylor Bigby (So.)

Outlook: Walker, an Arizona State signee, and Isbell, a UNLV signee, return to lead a Bulldogs squad that is long on talent again this season.

Four starters return from a team that won the program’s fourth consecutive large-school state title.

“We look to defend our state title with high level intensity play,” Weitz said. “We have great chemistry and depth.”
