The Next Chapter for Cy Woods

Gone is sharpshooter Jenny Nash who will be doing her thing at Nichols State. How do you replace a kid that scored close to 20 ppg as a senior and averaged probably close to 15 ppg for her career. Cy Woods has several that can fill it up and many are UTR. Sure, Olivia Ogwumike will be entering her sophomore season while younger sister Erica will be making her high school debut, but I believe those points could come from a number of players including Justice Crisp, Audrey Garcia, Camille Williams or Desarae Robertson.

With Chelsi Grimes running the point, this senior heavy team will have offense coming from everywhere. Williams didn't move up to varsity until the final week of the season due to transfer rules and helped Cy Woods knock off preseason favorite Bellaire before losing to eventual Region 3 winner Elsik. As her outside game improves, Williams and Robertson have had several shining moments during the club season and appear to be ready to go out with a bang in July. Crisp is also a player you need to keep your eye as the UTR list seems to keep growing.
