After graduating a few players last season, the Lady Mountain Lions look to make up for the loss by putting in hard work in the summer.

"Losing three seniors, We have made up for it over the summer this year and I think that's really gonna make us different from these other teams how hard we've really worked over the summer," said Junior, Chesney Brock.

"We are inexperienced with our bench and some of like our other players, but we've worked hard and like we've really put in the time," said Sophomore Whitney Caldwell.

Outside of practice, the team is doing extra work outs.

"The CrossFit it kind of got us in shape more so we'll be able to stay longer on the court and not get as tired as the other team,"said Sophomore Raigan King.

Coach Jamie Mills thinks CrossFit will help condition the girls on defense, one of the Lady Mountain Lions strengths

"I have a team that really likes playing defense and they're really good at playing defense so it's nice when you don't have to motivate and teach em, this bunch gets after it, " said coach.
