Addison Trail High School Girls Basketball 2008-2009 Scouting Report

Posted November 02, 2008 10:00 pm

Coach: Rob Schader.

Last year: 6-22, 3-9, fifth in West Suburban Gold; lost to Willowbrook in first round of Class 4A regional.

Top players: Jazmine Little, so., G; Mercedes Rallings, sr., G; Katie Kamide, jr., F/C; Nikki Zdrahel, sr., G; Daisy Murillo, jr., G.

Outlook: For a coach coming off a 6-22 season, Schader is very positive. "The sky's the limit for this team," he said, with a qualifier. "We've got a lot to learn and we're kind of taking it day by day so far."

Here's what the Blazers know: They have a balanced team, with up to seven girls who can score, starting with Rallings and Little.

Schader is especially positive about Little. "She's looking good. She's really gotten a lot tougher. She's become a better leader for us. She's matured."

Annie Costabile, a 6-footer, and Marissa Pezzopane, at 5-10, add height.

So will the team's improvement show in the league standings? "I'd like to think so," Schader said. "We'd be very disappointed as a coaching staff and as a team if we didn't improve."
