Parks returns just three players from last year's squad as the Lady Wildcats pre pare for a season in Region 8-AAAA. “I believe our young tal ent will develop into some very good basketball play ers," Parks said. “This group of girls has worked extremely HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL hard. They played in a local league last spring then went to two summer camps and lifted weights on a regular basis before competing in a fall league.” Parks believes all the pre season preparation should pay off for the young squad. Senior Kelsey Montgomery returns as the team’s lead ing scorer and will direct the offense at point guard. Senior Ashley Phommaly is a much improved player, the coach said, and will also provide valuable guard play. “We will be very young, but athletic," Parks said. “We may have enough talent to surprise some teams. I can’t guarantee any wins, just the fact that we will play very hard.” The Lady Wildcats have an opportunity to ease into the season, opening play Saturday at home against Commerce at 6 p.m. and not returning to action until Dec. 2 with a road game against Rockdale County.

Jones and his team will face the University of the Cumberlands in Kentucky. “It’s hard to know where to start,” Jones said. “It’s extremely exciting for us. These coaches have meshed their lives with this program and given so much. We’re excited to go from this moment into the national playoffs.” The NAIA national championship game will actually be played on Shorter’s home field in Rome. Barron Field was previously awarded the championship game. Jones started the Shorter College from scratch four years ago.
