Girl's 20th District Projections

20^th District Girls Preview

The girl’s district this year should be exciting as always. There won’t be as dominant of a team as Marion was last year. There are some teams projected at the top that aren’t usually there so that should bring some excitement for those teams. There is some good individual talent this year like usual in the 20^th district. I will give my predictions on how the teams will be this year.

Campbellsville Lady Eagles- Coach David Petett and the lady Eagles bring back a lot of talent from last year. They graduated one player from last year’s squad and returned the six leading scorers from last year’s team. Two juniors, Briante Gowdy, the versatile guard who is a good slasher and Lainey Watson, a sharpshooter will hope to lead the Lady Eagles to a district title.

Taylor County Lady Cardinals- Coach Jamie Vernon’s Lady Cardinals return every player from last year’s squad. They will have a lot of experience and this should be one of the better Lady Cardinals teams in a while. They will be led by senior Emma Maynard. Maynard does it all for Taylor as she is a versatile player who plays inside and outside as she tries to lead the Lady Cardinals back to the region after losing a heartbreaker (53-52) last season to Green County in the first round.

Marion County Lady Knights- Coach Kelly Wood’s Lady Knights lost a lot of talent from last year’s team. They lost 75 percent of their scoring as they will be looking to find offense in a lot of different directions this year. They do return Senior Tanika Williams, who is a really nice player who can really score well inside and out. Marion will try to keep their region streak which has remained intact since the 2005/06 season.

Adair County Lady Indians- Coach Andrew Reliford and the Lady Indians only lost two seniors last year but they were two of the top three scorers. This will be a young Lady Indian team who will rely on a lot of freshmen and juniors. This is a team who doesn’t graduate one player this year so this experience will help for next year. Freshman, Ellie Cheatham is the leading scorer from last year that’s returning. Though she is young, she is very physical inside and showed a lot of potential in her 8^th grade year.
