Springdale Girls Basketball has Solid Foundation

Head coach Drew Curry said,"Our expectation is to be a fundamentally sound team that gives ourselves a chance to win in every game by mastering the basics."

This year’s roster leans heavily on juniors and freshmen, most of whom return with valuable experience gained last season. Curry said that familiarity should help the team step forward competitively.

A strong junior class will set the tone, including E’Moni Wallette, Ashlynn-Mae Ford, and Savannah Smith. The Chargers are also excited to welcome newcomer Kazlin Rainer, who is returning to basketball for the first time since middle school.

Two key contributors from last year’s eighth-grade group – Nevaeh Wallette and Asa Cannon – return ready to play bigger roles. Curry said he expects that mix of experience and up-and-coming talent to be one of the Chargers’ strengths.

As the players continue developing, Curry said the Northeast 1B League will once again provide tough competition, with familiar programs battling for the top spots.

"We have had a couple years of growth and this year we are focused solely on cutting our mistakes down to give us a chance to win every game," Curry said. "Our league is always tough and the usual group will be fighting for the top spot."  

Springdale hopes to open the season with confidence and a determination to turn that progress into wins, Curry said.
