Basketball season for 2015/2016 should provide another exciting year. What should we expect from Holmes? Remember, please be constructive.

Top team in the ninth til someone shows me different.

Agree!

 

Have a lot of threats this year. Should be interesting how this season will turn out for them.

The loss of Tubbs present a challange. However look for Harris and Gully to have break out years assuming coaching doesn't mess it up.

I'm sure their starting 5 will be pretty solid with 4 of the 5 returning from last year!

 

Tubbs is a big loss, but I saw on FB that they've been attending ASAP for workouts. Same place CCH boys go.

 

I expect big teams from this group of girls! Watch out for McClendon-Englemon, heard she has D1 offer and other D1 interest.

IMO, she is the difference maker. If she stays healthy and has a "coming out party" this year (and I only say that because I'd like to see a little more consistency out of her), they will be very good. IMO, they definitely have the best starting 5 in the 9th, but the way they play, it requires some depth when you run into whistle-happy officials. So that could pose issues from time to time.

 

The only other concern I have with them is how do they score if teams "pack it in" and don't turn the ball over against them? They are a heck of a rebounding team as well, but even with shooters last year, they seemed out of sync when teams played them with how I described above. They overcame more times that not last year. Just interested in seeing that dimension play out with this year's team.

I agree with you 100% - it should be interesting in how they adjust to certain aspects of the game! One thing I think this team needs to develop is a half court game! When HC last year slowed the game down on them they looked a bit lost. I'm an avid Holmes fan, but Perkins needs to develop a half court game for these ladies if he wants a shot at winning the region.

I agree. If they had any kind of efficient half court offense last year, we could have had a different state champion...IMO.

Lady Bulldogs start the season as the team to beat in the 9th. Loosing Tubbs may bring them closer to the pack but they return a lot of talent...fast talent. If you can't handle the ball and beat the press, it will be a long night for anyone facing them. I would expect another great year from this group.

I agree, this group of girls will have a great season! Have a lot of team chemistry, this may be their year they take the region! They will lose a lot of talent after this year.

 

They just HAVE to develop a half court offense like RCC9 and I said.
