LAKE MEAD

League: Division III Southern

Head coach: Erika Hetzer, second season

2014 record: 14-11 (10-6 Southern, fifth)

Returning letter winners (starters): Five (five)

Top athletes: OH Jenette Hensley (Sr.), OH/MH Alle Butz (So.), S Rachael Watkins (Sr.)

Outlook: The Eagles return five starters — two seniors and three sophomores — from a team that finished one game out of a tie for third in the Southern League.

Hensley had 58 kills and 38 aces, and Butz added 58 kills last season for Lake Mead. Watkins dished out 173 assists and served 48 aces and will again guide the offense.

"I am expecting to have a competitive squad that will make the playoffs and even possibly make a state championship run," Hetzer said. "It isn't going to be easy, and we are going to need to build our mental toughness, but I know our seniors, with their passion and desire, will lead our younger girls."
