GIRLS Diane Inman (26th year) 12-13 Record: 20-6 Outlook: Coming off a 20-win season a year ago, the rebuilding process begins as the Lady Bulldogs return only one starter. “We’ve been in this situation before,” recalled head coach Diane Inman. “The girls in 1997 won only 10 games as freshmen before winning the state championship in 2000. I see a lot of that type of potential as this season develops. The light bulbs are going with every game we play. Jordin Wilson, who averaged 10.1ppg last season, will shoulder the load along with Destiny Raleigh, Rosie Mae Martinez, Jessica Wright, Abby Mabray and Payton Little for Inman, who enters her 26th year at Savanna. “We’re rebuilding,” said Inman. But, these girls have a lot of fight and aggressiveness which benefits our efforts on defense.” Jordin Wilson 5-8 Destiny Raleigh 5-4 Skye Kilburn 6-0 Rosie Mae Martinez 5-4 Jessica Wright 5-5 Tanna Heddelston 5-6 Abby Mabray 5-8 Trinity Johns 5-7 Brittany Drake 5-5 Payton Little 5-6 Kristen Perry 5-7 Justice Smith 5-6 Cianna Titsworth 5-7 Morgan Loud 5-5

BOYS Brian Brown (12th year) 12-13 Record: 11-12 Outlook: The ‘Dawgs enter the 2013-2014 campaign with only one starter returning from a year ago.

Tanner Brown, a 6-foot-4 center, will work on the front line along with Ryan Weeks, Deshawnta Wright, Tyler Ward and Jake Murdaugh while sophomore Alex Owens contributes at guard.
