SEASON OUTLOOK
Last year's record: 17-11. St. Peter lost to Waterville-Elysian-Morristown in the subsection semifinals.
Conference record: 7-3, tied for 2nd
"The Section should be more wide open than it has been in the last four years," Southworth said. "There is any number of teams that I think could make a run at the section title. On our half of the Section I expect NRHEG, WEM and Tri-City United to be three of the top teams. In the North half of the section I believe Norwood-Young America, Jordan and Glencoe-Silver Lake to be toward the top.
"I am excited for our group because I believe we will be able to compete with most of the teams in the section. The key for our team will be to continue to improve throughout the season and hopefully we are playing our best ball at the end of the year.
"Our half of the Big South Conference will be much more improved over last season. I think every team will be better than last year. There won't be any easy wins during conference play. The favorite on the west side of the conference has to be Marshall, and I feel they have to be favored to win the Conference Championship."
COMMENTS FROM THE COACH
"I am really looking forward to start this season. We return a lot of girls who were able to get some experience on the varsity last season. But as I told the girls this summer, 'just because you played last year doesn't automatically make you a better player this upcoming season.'
"I am really excited to see who has worked on their skills and improved themselves since last season. For our team to reach our goals we will need our best players to play at a consistent level and will need to have two or three girls take that next step in their development and be consistent contributors."
BY THE NUMBERS
311 — The number of points Olivia Hass is away from 1,000
323 — The number of rebounds Olivia Hass needs to set school career record.
