WBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

Thanks, by the way how did Millsaps do recruiting this year looks like they lost a lot of seniors last year

I don't know.  Haven't seen anything on any recruiting by anybody.  My daughter is going to be playing at a place other than Millsaps, but other than that I'm clueless as to who got what kind of new talent.

Oglethorpe brought in a slew of Freshwomen???  Don't think it's up to par with the class that graduated but I'm sure Satelle will be able to get the most out of them.

Trinity loses KPM, but believe that last years freshman and new upperclass additions should make for an interesting year

New upperclass additions?  Did they get some transfers?

A couple of girls who played their freshman year and decided to return

I have seen a few informal Oglethorpe workouts and this new bunch will be faster...better....who knows. Very athletic though.

Looking forward to basketball season as practice is just around the corner for SCAC squads.  Who is the class of the league for this season?

[tigerbacker]

In very limited knowledge of all the teams in the SCAC, I would think Centre should be the class of the East along with Depauw, Ogelthorpe lost a very talented group, don't know how they will fill all the holes.  Hendrix and Trinity should fight it out for the West.

Lady Colonels should be stronger this season with the return of senior Chelsea Goodman and 2 great newcomers from last season, sophomores, Lauren Huter and Maggie Prewitt. There's a nice blend of other players like Amanda Stovall, Angela Tronzo, Chelsea Luckey and Keonia Masterson to add punch to this squad. There is a large sophomore class which should produce some potency off the bench. One of the incoming freshmen players is Maggie Prewitt's younger sibling. Look for Colonels to continue playing up-tempo ball, and use at least 10 or so regular players to maintain the right pace of play. The competition in the east should be intense, and Centre will look to build on an impressive 2008-09 season

Who are some of the players that will have significant impacts on their teams success this year.

Who are some of the players that will have significant impacts on their teams success this year.

Sort of mentioned my Centre players already. 

Among the rest of league, here are some that I like whom I've seen play:

Emily Marshall & Kathryn Denbow - DePauw
Ali Marzella, Abby Dietert and Danielle Hubenak - Trinity
Katy Williams & Amber Stafford - Austin
Chelsea MacDonald - Oglethorpe
Christina Byler & Samatha Clark- Hendrix
Janice Okeke - Millsaps
Becky Atnip & Jenilee Pate - Rhodes
Staley Mullins - Southwestern
Erin Jackson & Katelyn Wilson - Birmingham Southern
Lauren Gulley - Sewanee
Becky Luetjen & Eliese Hansberry - Colorado College

Probably left a lot of impact players out but these are some good ones.  I always look forward to watching the incoming freshmen.

Christina Byler & Samatha Clark- Hendrix

Samantha Clark was a senior last year and has moved on, I think to be a pharmacist.  At any rate, she won't be playing this year.

 Tennessee_papa, thanks for straightening me out on Samantha. I should have remembered she graduated with my son.

[tigerbacker]

Hendrix has Byler who may be the best player in the Conference have they added any transfers or Freshman that will help.
