Lady Phenom Hoops is gearing up for a tremendous season and we are looking at teams around the state that have talent to be on the lookout for. A very interesting team that many should have their eyes on is Olympic; coming off a season in which they finished 14-11 overall and 4-6 in conference play, this was a very young team last year and with another year under their belt, this program could take the next step this coming season.
Though there are areas that this team will need to continue to work on and expand, this is also a team that has intrigue with the young talent that will be growing up together. Last year, the Trojans only averaged 38.8 points per game, so there is room for improvement offensively. But they have players that should take another step in their development.
2027 Chai James would be a name that I would start looking at more, as she was a dominant force both offensively and on the boards. She finished her freshman season averaging 11.7 points and 12.2 rebounds per game, along with 2.2 blocks. Then, you have two other freshmen in 2027 Arianna Shaw and 2027 Jasmyn Ashbourne, two prospects that brought production to the table to start their high school career.
These three could be a core group to this team’s success this year, but they also will have experienced players to help bring a balanced attack. After racking up 14 wins last year, time will tell to see if this team can take the next step this upcoming season.
