This upcoming season for girls basketball should be a special one. After a solid start to their varsity campaign, they look to go further this year. Last season the Mavs capped their season off with 14 wins and 11 losses. This year the Mavs have two new players; Cameron Brink and Kailea Boerste. The Mavs are 3rd in the preseason coaches poll. The team consists of:

#2 Senior – Hailey Lines

#5 Sophomore – Abby Crawshaw

#10 Junior – Lauren Thompson

#11 Sophomore – Shaylee Gonzalez

#12 Sophomore – Lindsey Wilson  (Captain)           

#15 Senior – Kailea Boerstre         (Pic: Craig Mitchelldyer)

#20 Sophomore – Aurelia Mafinejad #21 Sophomore – Taylor Smith #23 Sophomore – Carly Stone   #24 Sophomore – Halle Hagemen (Captain) #25 Junior – Ana Ika

#33 Senior – Cameron Brink (Captain)   

The new star forward and Stanford commit, Cameron Brink, had this to say about the upcoming season, “[We expect] other teams [to be] super aggressive…chippy games. We just gotta play through contact. Staying composed, we need to recognize when we need to slow down. But I would say that we have a lot of potential.” It seems like the girls team is very excited for this year, and they have high expectations for themselves.
