The Henry Foss High School girls' basketball team is gearing up for an exciting season ahead. With a strong focus on consistency, hard work, and maximizing every opportunity, Coach Dave McEachern and his team are determined to take their game to the next level. In this preview article, we will take a closer look at the top returning players, new players to watch out for, the team's schedule, changes and improvements in training and conditioning, new strategies and plays, and Coach McEachern's message for the fans and supporters. One of the strengths of the team this season is their returning players. Coach McEachern praised them as a key to their success. The two stand-out players are Rae Pardo and Ja'Kayre Stewart. Pardo, a senior, has been a consistent performer for the Lady Falcons. Last season, she averaged 12 points per game and was a key 3-point shooter for the team. Her offensive skills and leadership on the court make her a valuable asset to the team. On the other hand, Stewart, a junior, is known for her speed and strong finishing skills. With her explosive drives to the basket, she can quickly turn the game around in the team's favor. While the majority of players from last season are returning, Coach McEachern has his eyes set on two new players who he believes will make an immediate impact on the team. Rae Pardo's younger sister, sophomore Sofia Pardo, is a versatile player who can play multiple positions. She also possesses a strong basketball IQ and can read the game well. Another new player to watch is freshman Keonna Cole. She has shown great potential in her tryouts, and Coach McEachern believes she will be a valuable addition to the team. With a tough schedule ahead, the Lady Falcons are ready to face any challenge. Coach McEachern highlighted that the team has struggled in the past due to their numbers and lack of experience. However, this season, they are determined to overcome those challenges and prove their mettle. Their schedule includes games against tough opponents like Central Kitsap High School, North Thurston High School, and River Ridge High School. These games will be a real test of the team's skills and determination.
