Well, it's hard to believe but it's that time of year again. The returning players have been running open gym scrimmages and conditioning workouts for girls interested in playing for the Lady Pioneers during the 2010-11 season, and official try-outs have been scheduled for Oct. 18-19.
This should definitely prove to be an interesting season for the team as several key contributors from last year's squad have either graduated, injured, or finished their eligibility. So this means there are many great opportunities for new players to step up and make a difference early. I've been impressed with some of the freshman and transfers I've watched play, and there are still a few girls that can't scrimmage yet because of volleyball and soccer. I honestly think the potential is there for a successful team if some of these newer players will commit to working hard in practices.
Click here for this year's challenging schedule. You will see a great balance of home and away games, as well as a traditional region schedule that proves to be the most challenging in the nation. We also have a great non-region schedule again this year, including games against 3 teams that participated in last year's national tournament in Philadelphia.
Anyway, just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that with the changing leaves here in the north woods, our attention is rapidly turning towards basketball!
