Scouting report The Trojans will go with a team effort this year more than in recent seasons." I can't really tell you we have any standout players," DeKoekkoek said, adding, "That's a healthy thing." LeGrand likely will take the lead when the Trojans need someone down the stretch, though Dykema or Powers also could get looks. "She's a person who's pretty important to the overall structure of our team," DeKoekkoek said of LeGrand. "She makes good decisions." But with LeGrand being the only returning starter, there are plenty of questions about this team that won't be answered for a few weeks at least. It doesn't help that the small school will face some bigger schools in its new conference, the Metro Suburban, and the postseason won't be any easier. "The regional we're going to be in is going to be stacked," DeKoekkoek said.
