Memorial had some big wins last season against heavy hitters like Barbers Hill and Katy Taylor in fact they were in the driving seat early as they appeared to be heading to a district championship. Problem is they play in one of the toughest districts in the area and injuries to key players throughout the season including three point specialist Kirby McDaniel left the Mustangs on sort of a see-saw ride where the you sometimes had to expect the unexpected. Even without Kelli Wilson and Elissa Kissner, Memorial looked pretty sharp on Saturday even before their offensive machine, Ellen Anderson , showed up. Madison Miller makes the team go from the point and remember one of my sayings, "the game starts at the one".
Laurel Carrell was instant offense off the bench in many games I witnessed last season and I expect more of the same this season. Olivia Podaras continues to get better as she and Kissner, along with Jenn Taylor, are the only juniors to go along with 9 seniors on the roster.
