Overview: The Lady Bearcats will have their work cut out for them as they lost four players that went on to play college basketball in Katelyn and Cathryn Heil as well as Ashlee Taylor and Jill Temples.

"We definitely lost a lot of great players, we porbably had about 80 percent of our scoring graduate," Allen said. "We are just going to be really young this year.

Warren should be a force in the post for the Lady Bearcats at 5-10.

"Everyone will be keying in on her trying to stop her," Allen said. "She is just real strong and hard to stop because of her strength. He footwork is getting a lost better."

Dexter will be looking to get ccontributions from juniors Shelbie Hessling and Kaitlyn Jarrell as well as sophomores Lauren Ward and Ericka Mauser.
