Rumor has it that a few more players will be playing next week.

Sorry about that on Queen playing the point, but Menke will play in the post primarily. Most of her points last year came from less than 10 feet in and the free throw line, and as bad as the Lady Royals shot last year from the field, there are plenty of chances for offensive putbacks.

Wrong on Beth Queen, she played in the post. Butler played the position last year.

To my understanding, the Allen girl is not playing any summer ball, and Butler is playing with a team out of Ohio/WestVirginia. I have no clue about Morton, Henry, Stewart, Cropper, Gibbs, Morris, if they are even playing at all this summer. It will be hard to field a competitive practice this fall and make the girls better without some of these players coming back into the picture.

I agree with you on some points. Apparently they are playing well this summer which helps build confidence for their upcoming season. However, the "play the hand you are dealt" mentality I have a hard time with. It is going to be a long season with 7 players, which to my understanding, some have played this summer on the JV. It will be very difficult to complete the season with 11 or 12 players on your roster, do you scrap the freshman team and JV team and just compete at the varsity level. Possibly some of the winning done this summer will excite some new interest into the program, and help bring some girls back out in the fall if they are allowed. Personally, I think some of the defections were a result of losing and being so young and not being deal with it. IMO they definitely need more players, hopefully everything will work out.

Keller Menke cant play the point, she is a decent ball-handler but would be better served in the post, instead of wearing herself out directing the offense and being dogged defensively every moment.

Point guard will have to be Moran imo, unless something else happens before the season starts.:idunno:
