2016-17 Shadow Ridge Girls Basketball Capsule Preview

SHADOW RIDGE

Head coach: Dorothy Kendrick, second season

2015-16 record: 9-12 (2-6 Southwest, fourth)

Returning letter winners (starters): Five (three)

Top players: G Lauryn Calo (Sr.), F Alexa Martins (Sr.), G Caitlin Covington (So.)

Outlook: Kendrick, who recently had a highly-successful run at Canyon Springs, continues in the process of trying to build the Mustangs’ program.

“We have two returners, Lauryn Calo and Alexa Martins, that will help with this transition period,” Kendrick said. “We are young, and we have a lot of work to do, but that’s where senior leadership comes into play.

“Getting these young players to embrace a stronger work ethic will be the key. We are in the toughest league, and we have to be prepared to take each game day by day and continue to work hard in the process.”
