2017-18 Foothill Girls Basketball Capsule

FOOTHILL

Head coach: Laura Allen, second season

2016-17 record: 19-9 (8-2 Southeast, second)

Returning letter winners (starters): Six (two)

Top players: G Bri Rosales (Sr.), F Keilani Brown (Sr.), G Rhianna Cox (Jr.), G Aqui Williams (Jr.)

Outlook: The Falcons surprised a few people last year when they captured the Sunrise Region title and played in the Class 4A state semifinals.

At this point, it shouldn’t be a shock. Foothill has played in six of the last seven Sunrise title games, and despite returning only two starters, could well make it back this year.

“We look forward to continuing our tradition of competing at a high level in the Sunrise Region,” Allen said. “With a high priority on team chemistry and hard work, we are ready to compete and defend our region championship from last season.”
