Outlook Starting his second season as the BG coach, Pat Dudle is hoping to see the Bison improve their record from last season. "We have many returning players who gained experience from one of the toughest schedules in the state," he said. "Our players and coaches would like to improve in a few areas. All-area guard and four-year starter Heather Nisbet returns after averaging 10.3 points and converting 66 3-pointers last winter. She also shot 76 percent from the free throw line. DiPrima is another dangerous 3-point shooter for the Bison while Lialos provides muscle and points inside. "Our captains, Heather Nisbet and Stacey Lialios have led this charge in the summer and in the first few weeks this season," Dudle said."We would like to make a commitment to team defense and rebounding. While on the other end make better decisions with the ball, and not live or die behind the 3-point arc. Our team has the capability of being well balanced offensively. The Mid-Suburban East again will be a tough set of games. There will be no easy victories in our division."
