2017-18 Palo Verde Girls Basketball Capsule

PALO VERDE

Head coach: Phil Clarke, 10th season

2016-17 record: 4-21 (0-12 Northwest, seventh)

Returning letter winners (starters): Four (two)

Top players: G Ariana Davis (Sr.), G Alyssa Maillaro (Fr.)

Outlook: Davis, who averaged 11.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 steals last season, is back to lead a squad that suffered through a down year and hopes to rebound.

“It’s a pretty young and inexperienced, but hard-working group,” Clarke said. “We will look to the leadership of Ariana, who is a four-year varsity player, to help guide the new girls.”
