A trip to the Elite 8 wasn't that far fetched as the season started for Memorial as they started the season off with one point loss to Klein Forest, one of the early favorites to make some noise in the city and another loss by only 5 to the same team while a win in between over Cy Ranch. Most of this was done with leading scorer Ellen Anderson who was busy on the court. Injuries to Anderson, Olivia Podaras and now a major blow as Laurel Carrell ACL injury has ended her high school career. Last season as the 6th , well first sub in the game, Carrell brought fire and instant offense every time I saw her play. This season she excelled as a starter and continued to be among the leaders and her ability to be at the right place at the right time will surely be missed as the Mustangs will probably finish 4th and have to face the Bellaire Cardinals in round one. Tonight they host Katy Taylor who are trying to stay within striking distance of second place.
