Expect the Cougars to be strong defensively. We took a hard hit with an injury, allowing someone to step up.

Conner is going to be a much smaller team than years past. They guard play will have to be very good for Conner to make a run. Best wishes to Hunter Hendricks in her rehab. She is going to be missed.

Best of luck to Conner.

No Conner lovers on here this year? How is the team looking?

It seems that once word got out about Hendricks being injured & unable to play this season, there isn't much to talk about. I think Conner has a great number of good players, but outside of Gambrel we'll need to wait to see who steps up. From what I saw this summer at Thomas More league, Conner is mostly guards & don't have the height underneath since Meyers graduated. The team is mostly juniors with maybe 1 senior (Dages)returning. She is a good player that dealt with injuries towards the end of the season last year, but if she stays healthy she will help!! I look for Frye, Vest, Bolter & Roberts to be some names that may surface as the season kicks in as well. Might be a tough year for the Lady Cougars with Hendricks out. She seemed to bring a lot of spark & spunk to the floor!!

Tough spot this year losing 3 starters 2 to graduation (Meyers and Maines) and then Hendricks with injury. Stamm will have the team ready to play.

Really sucks! Injuries suck! Feel terrible for Hunter and the other girls. But you never know, sometimes it unites others and a chemistry can develop that can be stronger than talent (the loss of talent). My guess is we'll know early on what's going to take over. Will they come together and have the "refuse to lose" mentality or will they take a couple losses and fold up shop. I hope they fight.

I agree it's really too soon to predict anything for Conner. After watching Conner play at TMC this summer, I felt this could be a very strong year for them. Gambrel & Hendricks were the stand out players, but I saw some very good things from players not as well-known. Sure they are lacking size underneath, but they made up for that weakness with their quickness, outside shooting & no fear driving the lane. Hendricks probably pulled down more rebounds than anyone on the team so Conner has a lot to make up with her out this year!! GambreI has the talent & experience to lead this team on both ends of the floor as long as she stays out of foul trouble. Frye worked well underneath as Conner's lone big man. Vest, Bolter & Roberts seemed to be players that could play underneath, but also outside. All 3 are dangerous if left alone outside & are defensively good as well. Bolter seemed to be the only other strong ballhandler outside of Gambrel that I saw this summer at TMC(I realize that players may miss during summer due to vacations & other sports...both Dages & Hicks were both missing, so no doubt Stamm has even more talent to work with than was shown!) I hope they do have the "refuse to lose" attitude coming into the season & wind up having many more people talking/showing the love on here. Stamm is a great coach with some very good players left on this team and deserves another successful season!!

speedy recovery for Hendricks. Also, I think Gambrel will do a nice job. Good luck to Coach Stamm and all the young ladies.
