Mid-South Community College’s Lady Greyhounds expect to overcome collegiate inexperience with good talent and leadership from its returning players when the 2013-14 begins on Nov. 1.
“I’m really excited and believe we have made significant progress,” said Kim Ezell, who is entering her third year as the Lady Greyhounds coach. “We will definitely be better than last year. I feel like we have some good talent; it’s just a matter of keeping it headed in the right direction.”
The Lady Greyhounds return a small number of sophomores (three) but anticipate the veterans will mix well with the rookies for a competitive team.
“We only have a few sophomores, but I think they will be great contributors to our team,” Ezell said. “We’re expecting good things. We can come at least eight strong initially, and I expect the other young players to step up their games as the season progresses.”
