Palo Verde Girls Basketball 2013-14 Capsule Preview
PALO VERDE
Head coach: Phil Clarke, sixth season
2012-13 record: 8-15 (6-4 Northwest, third)
Returning letter winners (starters): Six (three)
Top players: G Nallah Thomas-McDade (Sr.), G Paulina Silcox (So.)
Outlook: The Panthers showed flashes of good play last season, but the loss of the team’s top two scorers to rival Centennial won’t be easy to overcome.
“We are a young team with not many players with game experience,” Clarke said. “We are looking to get back to the playoffs and improve on last year’s third-place finish in the league.”
