Black River student receives Good Citizen Award

P.O. BOX 338 ELIZABETHTOWN, NY 12932 Postal Patron

Vol. 2 No. 47 • December 15, 2010

By Joe Milliken

newmarketpress@denpubs.com CAVENDISH — Black River High School senior Emily Hammond was recently chosen as the 2010 recipient of the Daughters Of American Revolution (DAR) Good Citizen Award. The honor is given to the student that most exemplifies dependability, leadership, service and patriotism.

The staff at Black River High School nominates three students, before the senior class select the winner from the three nominated. The Cavendish chapter of DAR then awarded Emily the award and $50 prize. This achievement also allows Emily to compete in an upcoming essay writing contest to earn college scholarship money.

Among her many high school achievements, Emily has been class President since since ninth grade, is a member of the student council and was also a captain this fall on the girls’ soccer team. Emily was also inducted into the National Honor Society as a sophomore.

She has performed over 100 hours of community service, including volunteering at the humane society, coordinating a local food drive, painting at the local elementary school and also volunteered as a coach for ‘Girls on the Run,” a program designed to get elementary girls more involved in sports, running and fitness.

Still other community programs in which Ms. Hammond is involved include a youth chapter of the Rotary Club called Interact, the “World of Difference” peer training program at Black River High School and also serves as a Big Buddy at the local elementary school. She even finds the time to be stage manager for several Black River High School drama productions. Congratulations to Emily for all the achievements throughout her high school career.

Torchlight: A tradition at Okemo

By Joe Milliken

newmarketpress@denpubs.com LUDLOW — Okemo Mountain resort in Ludlow will hold its’ annual Torchlight Parade, Fireworks Display and Guided Snowshoe Tour on Sunday, Dec. 26, with the torchlight beginning at 6 p.m. and fireworks after 7 p.m.

Torchlight parades are a tradition as old as skiing itself. The Birkebeiners probably carried torches as they skied over the mountains. Norwegian history credits the Birkebeiners’ bravery with preserving the life of the boy who later became King Haakon Haakonsson IV, ended the civil wars in 1240 and forever changed Northern Europe’s history through his reign.

Watch the torchlight parade consisting of Okemo employees, who ski and snowboard down the mountain creating a spectacular display. “We’ve been doing torchlight parades at Okemo for as long as anyone can remember,” Okemo Public Relations Director Bonnie McPhearson said in a recent interview. “No one remembers why or how it started, we are just happy to keep up the tradition .”

Okemo will also offer free guided snowshoe tours leading up to Okemo’s gala fireworks display. It’s a great reason to get outdoors and stand shoulder to shoulder ...Turn to page 13 to read more on the Torchlight Parade

Don’t Toy with Safety

W

ith the holidays approaching, families have been shopping for some information in regard to buying safe toys for their children this year. Well, fortunately I have a direct line to Santa who is the expert when it comes to safe toys, and he wanted me to share with you the following information: 1. Please read the labels before buying any toy to learn about what ages the toy is safe for, how to use it, whether adult supervision is recommended for assembly or use, and to make sure toxins or chemicals have not been used in making the toy.

2. Think big when it comes to buying a toy – I mean bigger than your child's mouth so as to prevent choking. Check labels to make sure there are no small parts that can be choking hazards.

3. Avoid toys that shoot small objects into the air to avoid choking or eye injuries (they do occur) and avoid toys that make loud or shrill noises that can damage their hearing.

4. Make sure the toy is sturdy by checking that parts are sewn on well and that seams and edges are secure. Make sure stuffed toys are flame resistant or flame retardant and washable.

5. Crib toys should not have strings or wires longer than 12 inches that a child can strangle or choke on.

So after all that, what kind of toy should you get? Choose toys that are based on the developmental level of your child - toys that their physical and mental abilities will allow them to use appropriately. Your pediatrician can make suggestions specific to the age and developmental level of your child. All you have to do is ask. And don’t forget that books make great gifts for children (and adults) of all ages.

If you have any concerns about a toy, check the Consumer Product Safety Commission web site www.cpsc.gov to see if it has a problem or has been recalled.

Hopefully, tips like this will wrapup any concerns you have when it comes to giving your child the gift of a safe toy.

Happy shopping!

Tribal Savagery

I

n a sequence of one-step-leads-to-another reading too indirect to be worth the column-inches for description here, I ended up with a dog-eared and previous-reader-annotated copy of “Beyond the Classroom” in hand. It’s one of hundreds of books which target, with greater or lesser success, what is and isn’t going on in K-12 public education, a 13-year process which is supposed to (and once did) metamorphose illiterate and innumerate little savages into civilized and knowledgeable citizens. Without reservation (pun intended) I can testify that the 1995 Laurence Steinberg 223-page effort (the Washington Post called it “an important book with important truths” so it must be so) the best-I’ve-yetseen analysis of the Students-Who-Won’t-Learn question, and it makes its points without charts, tables, or Hindu (“borrowed” by the Arabs, who then put their name on it) numerology and symbols. It’s good, not because, like most books on the SWWL subject, it devotes a lot of ink to the racial achievement pattern –blacks and Hispanics worse than Whites, Whites worse than Asians—and to the parental guidance –or lack thereof—and to the “disengagedstudent” question; but because it goes into a subject wherein, unlike other books on the SWWL subject, it devotes a lot of ink to student-peer-pressure –to pursue or disdain learning—and how it prevails, not only in the usual-suspect inner-city schools, but similarly in suburban and rural schools, and across the entire socio-economic spectrum. If you credit Steinberg with accurate representation of all the statistical studies he’s run and referenced (but not re-printed) then his findings are as applicable to what’s going on in East Overshoe, VT, Central School as in Harlem, NYC’s PS 7, a 3-out-of10 quality-scoring school which was never 10-10, and in Boston’s highly-gentrified Longwood neighborhood, Boston Latin School, which once was 10-10 but was pushed from educational grace in the 1970’s.

Maybe the best summary sentence in Steinberg (p,137) is this one: “The factor that undermines the positive effect of effective parenting in Black homes is the same one that counters the adverse effect of ineffective parenting in Asian households –the peer group”. Previously he had reported his research finding that, after all the usual adjustments for socio-economic status, all racial groups practice about the same level of authoritative (his label for really-good) parenting, and in the following chapter he makes the case that student peer pressure trumps it all because, (p. 141) “…there is a specific period in [adolescent] development roughly from age 12 through 16 when…peers begin to play an enormously important role in influencing achievement”. On p.146 he writes that “the prevailing norm in most high schools is to “get by without showing off” and there are pockets within each school in which academic achievement is admired and others in which it is actively discouraged”. Observers of both VT and non-VT schools can’t honestly disagree. His italicized p.148 conclusion: “by high school, the influence of friends on school performance…is more substantial than the influences of parents’ practices at home”. He then devotes a modest amount of ink to parental neighborhood selection (middle-class flight, both White and Black, although he doesn’t call it so) as the best way for parents to control the circle of their teens’ friends, presumably to install them in a more old-fashioned social

WEDNESDAY December 15, 2010 environment like the now-vanished ones where most of the teens were enthusiastic about getting good grades, and being part of the in-group meant internalizing those academic expectations.

If you find Steinberg’s research findings and conclusions more persuasive, you have to find the current focus on booting out teachers-who-don’tteach less persuasive. You also have to question one of the new themes in the pre-K argument, the one which says that parenting is so poor that, for Head Start to work successfully, government will have to remove the kids for large blocks of non-school time from mom or, more rarely, from mom and dad. Under the Steinberg thesis, parental failure to wield books at home doesn’t matter; getting kids into groups which think an after-school jaunt to the town library beats basketball is the key factor. He doesn’t say where such teen groups are more or less likely to be found, but I’d guess that the odds favor the neighborhood around PS 7 somewhat less than the neighborhood around, say, the Chicago-suburb New Trier High School. Boston Latin is in a separate Brown-v.Board-and-bussing classification; high-SES neighborhood from which local kids are shipped by their parents to non-neighborhood schools, and BL itself enrolls mostly bus-ins from elsewhere in Boston. It has a lot of SWWL problems it didn’t have when enrollments were local.

Reinforcement for the Steinberg thesis comes from an unexpected and more recent source: Ludwig von Mises Institute writer Gennady Stolyarov, who opines (this year) that schools which devote so much more effort to “school spirit” than to individual achievement are cultivating the worst aspects of little-savage tribalism in the young: the unwarrantedly high levels of group- and self-esteem which say, in effect, “we’re a really great tribe, we don’t do math, and we’re a lot better than those nerds who can”.

If there’s a questionable part, it’s the Steinberg explanation of his research finding that Asian students from non-authoritative families do better in school anyway than B’s, W’s, and H’s. His theory: they’re the victims of B, W, and H gang rejection-discrimination, and, denied entry into the anti-achievement peer groups, they have no choice but to form their own, pro-achievement, ones. Are the Pacific Coast urban-Asian gangs figments of Hollywood imagination?

Finally, there’s the unasked unanswered question not in Steinberg’s pages: what can powerful forces like public schools, typically the weightiest institutions in small-town and suburban areas, do to help parents in shaping the mostly pro-achievement adolescent attitudes as were dominant in the good old-fashioned teen peer groups of years gone by? Neither the author nor the academics nor the edu-crats have chosen to address that subject.

Rusty’s Yuletide Cheer

eird Al Yankovic built a large career for himself changing words of hit songs and re recording them. Creating an industry from nothing is impressive, Al’s an extremely talented guy, but when I hear songs re written using the music and groove of an already well known song, I’m let down, I feel jipped, cause there’s nothing easier than punching up someone’s already fully fleshed out successful idea.

Below I’ll change words to the first couple lines of familiar holiday songs and prove the point of how easy it is. If I can do it, any dolt can.

Once you get started on a theme with the first two lines changed, the rest comes even easier. So if you’re wanting to complete an entire song, it’ll be a cinch. You’ll agree after you sing my samples. *You may not nail the cadence of the original song using the new words I wrote, but if you go back over them a time or two and play with the groove, you’ll find they all work perfectly right on the beat.

The Shumlin administration is showing a lack of foresight and traditional Vermont values – values that have protected these ridgelines for more than a century. The cost of this plan is great – the costs to Vermonter's health, future renewable choices, and future business development is immeasurable.

Vermonters are the conscience of this great state. We are deeply and justifiably attached to our surrounding landscape.

This landscape gives us a sense of time – something more permanent than we ourselves are – something that was not created by us and must be protected.

Let us hope the new legislature will show more restraint and foresight than the incoming Governor has. Take the time to evaluate what this will cost our state in the long run.

There are much better ways to create a renewable future.

All around the cobbler’s bench

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com

If you’re lucky enough to own a pair of Dan Freeman’s custom, handmade leather shoes or boots—I happen to own a pair of Freeman’s classic Mediterranean-style sandals—then you are a member of an elite, and growing, group of folks with extremely happy feet.

When you walk out of Dan Freeman’s Leatherworks in downtown Middlebury with a pair of custom shoes, you’ll know what it means to wear the best-made set of soles in Vermont.

Freeman uses top-quality materials and performs all customized fittings himself. And unlike cookie-cutter shoe outlets in cookie-cutter shopping malls, the Middlebury craftsman will service your purchase over it’s long lifespan.

While the old cobbler ’s trade may be extinct elsewhere, Freeman’s customer friendly manner and passion for his trade are keeping this old fashioned skill alive in Addison County, Vt. We hope he’s found an apprentice or two to help spread the faith far and wide.

Recently, Freeman was guest lecturer at the Shelden Museum of Vermont History. At a small afternoon gathering, he discussed the fascinating world of shoemaking, especially as it was in the 1800s. Freeman displayed an historian’s knowledge of his trade’s evolution. He even revealed who made the shoes, who wore them, and how they were made, in 19th century Vermont.

Selected shoes, boots and slippers from the museum’s collection, as well as lasts and tools used to make shoes from the same era, were on display during Freman’s presentation.

Freeman began his unusual career in 1970 when he spent a year as an apprentice in a sandal shop in North Carolina.

He then spent five years working in a leather shop on Main Street in Middlebury.

In 1976 Freeman spent two years working in New Orleans, La., for a shoemaker there. He moved back to Vermont in 1986 when he opened his current leatherworks shop in Middlebury.

In a world of cheap, imported shoes, Freeman’s traditional cobbler skills are all the more valuable to retain.

Poultney Theatre Company presents ‘A Christmas Carol’

By Catherine M. Oliverio

90309

newmarketpress@denpubs.com POULTNEY — The Poultney Theatre Company will present Scrooge & Company, a dramatic reading of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Production shows are Saturday, Dec. 18, at the Slate Valley Museum in Granville, and Sunday, Dec. 19, in the cozy setting of the Poultney High School li-

brary. All performances are at 2 p.m., and admission is free.

Gary Meitrott who has conceived and directed this enduring Dickens’ masterpiece with authentic phrasing said, “Our adaptation is the essence of Dickens’, and we hold to the original feeling.”

He said, “A dramatic reading is not just reading from a script but the elements of

theatrical gesture and movement that adds humor and excitement to the reading.

The characters are brought to life with the interaction and emotional clarity that you would find on stage.”

“Theatrical reading uses a ‘reader ’s theater style’ where the actors relate to each other not on stage but between themselves and the audience as if they were the characters.”

The key local actors are Bill Cruikshank, Burnham Holmes, Danielle Houston, David Mook, and Anna Whooley.

Donations are welcome and proceeds from the Poultney performance will be used to establish the Dick Wright Fund in support of the drama program at Poultney High School.

“Dick Wright was a cast member during the inaugural production in 2003. He was in every production of Shakespeare on Main Street, and ‘A Christmas Carol’ until his death in 2007,” said Kitty Galante, board member of The Poultney Theatre Company. “Dick was the first president of our board .

He was an extremely popular member of the cast and Poultney community.”

Meitrott added, “Dick’s enthusiasm and interest in action grew from a small part to his last production.

He absolutely loved acting, every minute of it!”

“In rehearsing the production, it always truly puts me in the mood for Christmas.

The actors and I are in fits of laughter and touched to the heart,” said Meitrott.

Special thanks for their assistance with this year ’s presentation of “A Christmas Carol” go to Christine Rose, Kathryn Weller, and Tom Fitzgerald.

For information on “A Christmas Carol”, contact 802-287-4270.

This summer The Poultney Theatre Company’s Shakespeare on Main Street will produce “Romeo and Juliet” and the Junior Company will perform “As you Like It”.

For both of these productions the cast and crew auditions and interviews will be held at the Stonebridge, Poultney, Vt. Feb. 5 from 10 a.m.-12 noon, and Feb 6 from 1-3 p.m., March 5 from 10 a.m.-12 noon, and March 6 from 1-3 p.m. Contact Gary Meitrott at 802-235-2400 or garymeitrott@vermontel.net .

The Poultney Theatre Company is supported in part by a grant from the Hills and Hollows Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation.

Vermont’s oldest campground

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Jamaica State Park may be the oldest campground in Vermont—literally. It’s a campground that has been hosting Vermonters for more than 6,000 years.

While digging test pits for a new waste water system in the state park last month, workers accidentally dredged up 70-80 ancient artifacts near the park’s popular Salmon Hole site.

After a state archeologist examined the stone tools, work on the waste water project was halted. A full blown archaeological dig occured at the park in the summer.

“The University of Vermont Consulting Archaeology Program is excavating portions of a Native American campsite on weekdays through Aug. 20,” according to Rochelle Skinner, parks manager. “This work represents the first systematic excavation of this well know, but poorly understood site, and is being carried out in advance of much needed park facility upgrades.”

Jamaica State Park, comprising 772 acres, was first opened to the public in 1969. Pre-park visitors to the site reported finding artifacts over the years, but nothing as significant as last month’s discovery was ever made public.

Similar paleo-Indian artifacts were found in Rutland Town near Post Road earlier this summer, across from Thomas Dairy. The 16 arrowheads unearthed were dated between 7,000 and 5,000 B.C. and probably aren’t as old as the state park artifacts. The Rutland County artifacts were uncovered during a routine Vermont Division for Historic Preservation dig in preparation for a future development site.

“Beneath Jamaica State Park lie the remains of numerous ancient Native American camp sites dating back at least 6,000 years,” said Skinner.

Skinner said the public is encouraged to visit the dig while it is underway, ask questions, help wash newly discovered artifacts and learn about the park's Native American history.

Torchlight From page 1 with your neighbors as a ribbon of light finds its way down the slope. It’s quite a spectacle and well worth the effort. The Sitting Bull also offers refuge from the cold and the spirits to keep the socializing going long after the torches are extinguished.

“There’s a great connection to skiing tradition associated with torchlight parades,” McPhearson added. “There is a wonderful revelry for the participants that is contagious for spectators. The winter nights are long and we need to make the most of living in a northern climate where skiing and snow sports are such an important part of our culture.”

For the snowshoe tour, participants meet inside the Okemo Express Rental Shop (located at main base) at 6 p.m. to be fitted for snowshoes. Tours will depart the Okemo base area beside South Ridge Quad A at 7 p.m. and head up on the Bull Run rail to watch the fireworks.

WEDNESDAY December 15, 2010

Get In The Game A View on Sports by Joe Milliken As another winter sports season gets under way, let's take a look around the Marble Valley League hardwood as our local high schools gear up for another hoop season and a shot at heading to Barre for a state title run.

Rutland High School In Rutland, the Raiders boys' basketball team comes into the season with a lot of talent, and hopes of ending a 43-year championship drought. Head coach Mike Wood has the talent to make a run despite the early season absence of perhaps his best shooter in Troy Devine. Devine suffered a knee injury during the playoffs last year, but is expected back soon.

The Raiders will also heavily rely on the versatile Mike Triller and center Alex Snyder, who plans on taking up a lot of space under the basket. Several sophomores also got significant playing time last season, led by now junior Tre Hysell, which should go a long way towards the maturation of this team as the new season arrives. Others looking to create an impact include senior Scott Therrault and junior Danny Hogenkamp.

The Rutland High girls' squad it appears, will be going through some growing pains this season after losing eight players from last year, including three starters. Therefore, several players are going to get their chance to shine, which also means coach Tom Geisler will have his eyes wide open to determine where playing time will fall.

Meghan Ballard and Alyssa Moore return from last years' starting lineup and have spots solidified in the starting front court. However, after losing his starting center and point guard, coach Geisler will let the play on the floor determine other contributions.The Lady Raiders will certainly have to gel on the fly, as they prepare for their season opener against Rice on Dec. 14.

------------------------

Mount St. Joseph This could be a very interesting season for the Mount St. Joseph boys' hoop team under second year coach Mark Benetatos. Despite only returning two players from last year's team, brings in four new players from New York including Shannon Murray, Rob Cassell, Johnathan Mitchell and 6-foot-4 power forward Jaskin Melendez. MSJ will also look to returning sophomore Matt Sanborn, who is looking

to grab the starting point guard spot.

However, the exciting aspect of this team could end up being three incoming freshman - David Perry, Tyler Ackley and Zack Lanzill - who average 6-foot-4. In Division III, this will give the Mounties a decisive height advantage against most. However, these kids are freshman, therefore coach Benetatos will need his more experienced players to show leadership in helping these young players along.

The Lady Mounties will look to senior tri-captains Christy Ojala, Brianna Patton and Ashley Bathalon as the leaders of an otherwise young team, with junior Kaitin Gawet also being looked upon for her experience and toughness. Sophomore 6-footers Megan Blais and Alex Reedy ad height and depth, while up-and-coming freshman Gwen Breslin can handle the ball and could work into a point guard role.

Coach Watson has also brought in ex-MSJ player Kate Dale as an assistant coach, who connects with the players well and adds an aspect of discipline that should help this team gel and understand the importance of teamwork.

----------------------------

West Rutland High School

Golden Horde coach Mike Lufkin is setting high expectations for his team this season and with good reason, as he returns four key seniors and a bench that goes nine deep, which is nearly the opposite from last season's scenario.

With at least three players over 6-feet in Adam Garcia, Nick Anagnos and Emmitt Ackerman, Brian Harvey and Craig Duprey will also look to create an impact. This team should also be athletic enough to bang the boards for second-chance opportunities. Defensive rebounding and good defense will certainly be important to create some transition baskets.

SUNDAY SOLUTION In the season home-openOkemo’s Sunday Solution Morning Half-Day Lift Ticket er against Cabot, the Horde got 15 points from Adams Perfect for our weekend skiers and riders who prefer to ski in the morning and get an early start home and 11 from Ackerman in a on Sunday afternoon.

45-16 win over Cabot. Westside played stifling defense • Full 5 1/2 hours of skiing and riding, every Sunday, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. inside which allowed them $71 for Adults (19-64) to get their transition game $62 for Young Adult/Seniors (13-18 / 65-69), in full gear. $48 for Juniors/Super Seniors (7-12 / 70+) The West Rutland girls' team is coming off about as • As always, kids 6 & under are FREE! good a season as you can

get, after winning the Division IV state championship last season. Despite losing eight players to graduation and bringing in some eight freshman, head coach Carl Serani still has some experience left from the title team with Heidi and Holly Burns, Caroline Woods, Amanda Harte, Johanna Lee, Sam Lacz, Morgan Raiche and Mikayla Dambrackus.

With so many new faces looking to make contributions, though, this could indeed be a very challenging season for the Lady Horde, but challenges are created to be met and this team has enough experience from last year to continue that winning momentum.

The Westside girls' opened their season with a convincing 50-28 win over Cabot. The freshman Dambrackus led the way with 10 points, while Lacz and Raiche pitched in with nine and seven points respectively.

--------------------------

Proctor High School The Proctor boys' hoop team is coming off another impressive season that saw them fall one win shy of a state championship. However, this team will have a little different look under coach Dick Wilcox, after losing three of his five starts to graduation. A fourth starter, Justin Carter, is also out because of a knee injury.

But the Phantoms do bring back Austin Howard, Matt Dobart and Nate Salgo, all of whom bring experience and leadership to the floor and can help the younger players grow into their roles. Salgo is a scorer who missed last season because of injury and Howard is a big kid who will be counted on to carve out some space in the paint.

Proctor will also need to get some production from their bench, which consists of younger players, therefore coach Wilcox will be evaluating early on as to which of these players will step up and play a key role.

The Lady Phantoms are coming off a transition year in which they started no seniors, and have not a single senior on this season's roster. However, seven juniors and sophomores who make up the core of this group, all received a lot of valuable playing time which allowed them to learn a great deal heading into season.

They may be young, but these kids are athletic and fast, led by Mikayla Tanner, Megan Carter and Mikayla McCormack. They will need to utilize said speed and get out in transition as to create easy baskets. They also do not possess a lot of size, therefore playing aggressive defense and

WEDNESDAY December 15, 2010 boxing out underneath the boards will be essential to their success.

In the season opener at Leland & Gray, the Phantoms lost a heart-breaker in overtime, 48-37. Trailing by 10 at halftime, Proctor fought back to force overtime, before being outscored 13-2 in the OT. Mikayla McCormack led the way with 13 points while Mikayla Turner pitched in with nine.

--------------------------

Black River High School In Ludlow, the Black River boys' basketball team is coming off a strange year in which they literally had no season.

A couple injuries, a couple ineligibility issues and overall very low numbers simply made it too tough to try and navigate through a season. Needless to say, a big disappointment for the players most of all.

However, the Presidents are back and ready to re-group under new coach Bob Joy, a Westminster resident whose father (Bob Joy) was a longtime and well respected youth coach in the area. Overall, the numbers have not improved a great deal simply because of the size of the school, but coach Joy likes what he sees so far.

The Lady Presidents are also coming off a rough season that saw them win not a single game. However, this sports writer witnessed a couple of those losses and to their credit, coach Peter Collins' players always played hard and more importantly , never put their heads down. Some of that persistence and sense of fair play should go a long way in helping the team grow from here.

However the Lady Presidents will only have nine players, three of which return from last year's squad, therefore, there better be in good shape and they will have to stay away from any major injury issues.

OUTLOOK - 15

-------------------------

Otter Valley High School In Brandon, the Otter Valley High School boys' hoop squad is looking to build upon just a six-win season last year, and will have to do it without a lot of experience coming back. Second year coach Nathan Bellomo will, however, look to his two returning seniors Brian Rademacher and Rob Kelley for leadership on the court, as well as returning players Nathan Fitzgerald, Chris Cinonette and Kevin Lefebvre.

Because the Otters will be relatively smaller than in recent years, this team will have to really work hard at both ends of the floor and especially on defense. The fundamentals such as boxing out under the boards will be essential.

The Lady Otters hoop team also brings in a lot of new faces, with only three players returning from last year's roster. Coach Ray Counter does possess four seniors heading into the season, but only one, Kristy Pinkham, has significant varsity experience.

Finding a way to develop chemistry quickly will be the biggest obstacle for this team, simply because they have not spent a lot of time on the court together. If they can find themselves early on, they could be poised for a run in the second half of the season if they can define roles quickly.

Coach Counter will also look to the likes of Kelsey Poljacik, Brittany Bushey, Jessica Frasier, Olivia Bloomer, Jordan Mitchell and Taylor Aines, most of whom are freshman, to get significant minutes and valuable experience as the season moves along.
