GRANT

COACH: John Eiduke (third season)

LAST SEASON: 12-17, 6-6 in NSC Prairie

LOSSES: C Heather Chapman, G Morgan Liles, G Ashley Oliver, F Jaclyn Smyth

RETURNEES: Sr. F Donnie Taggart, Jr. G Morgan Jahnke, Jr. G Kassie Stimpson, Sr. G Trisha Palmieri, Sr. F Jessica Mendia, Sr. F Brittney Froelich

NEWCOMERS: Jr. Kacie Wodek, Jr. Tara Cwiak, Jr. Brittany Glover, Jr. Bri Miller, Jr. Caitlin Wedge, Fr. Kaylie Kanzler, Jr. Jenny Leding, Jr. Nicole Swanson, Jr. Ashley Burrows

OUTLOOK: Once a dominant team in the NSC Prairie, the Bulldogs slipped to 12 wins last season after going 16-13 in coach John Eiduke's first season two years ago. Despite the graduation of all-conference center Heather Chapman, who was a reliable scorer and rebounder, the Bulldogs have the potential to bounce back with a winning season. The talent includes 5-foot-10 Donnie Taggart, who had three 18-point efforts as a junior, and junior guard Kassie Stimpson, who's been on varsity since her freshman year. Eiduke is carrying 15 players, including freshman Kaylie Kanzler. “We have a great group of girls to work with this season,” Eiduke said. “Hopefully we will be able to focus on the challenges we will face, work hard, make progress and have a fun and successful season.”
