The Spring Lions hope to return to the glory days of yesteryear when they represented R3 in Austin back in 2006. Ironically that is also the last year they made the playoffs however this season could be the start of something special. With the addition of some fresh faces who played JV last season due to transfer rules, 2015 players Brittany Smith and Brittany Perkins, along with incoming freshman Gabby Shoulders to go along with Newcomer of the Year Bernesha Peters, this team will be in the playoff hunt come February

If I had to pick a most improved player team, Perkins would definitely be on it and if she continues to improve like she did over the past season, her stock will continue to rise as far as what level of next level she can play at. Smith and Peters stock was high the first time I saw them play in fact Smith reminded me of another Brittany, Toran from Humble out of that storybook 2005 class. That was the last time I saw a player that young making touch passes in traffic and Smith's basketball IQ has her high on the list for her class, well her talent might have a little something to do with it as well
Pound for pound, inch for inch, no one in the area will give you more on every play than Peters who at a tad over 5 feet is a lightning bolt ready to strike at a moments notice. Speed, ball-handling, court vision, knowledge and the ability to take a lick and keep on ticking has her up there with Smith as well. Shoulders should fit in nicely with this group and I can't wait to see this young team bring the heat along with the excitement of the past and remember where you heard it first, never-mind I won't let you forget
