GROVE CITY, Pa. (WKBN) – Grove City welcomes back a pair of its stalwarts in Piper Como (13.4 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 2.1 apg) and Izzie Gamble (8.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 1.9 apg) to lead the Eagles into the new season.
Entering his third season at the helm, coach Dennis Ranker said, “We should be a good outside shooting team, and have the potential to be very effective in both our half-court defense and offense.”
Sophomore Lola Kolbe will have the opportunity to see her time increase. Last year, No. 33 hauled down 3.6 boards throughout her 21 games played.
The Eagles will open the new campaign on December 1 versus Moniteau in the Kiser Classic.
“I have high expectations for our team,” Ranker said. “We have some very talented pieces and have worked very hard all off-season. The development of depth and embracing roles will determine our success. We always have a goal of both region and district championships in our program.”
