Varsity Girls Basketball Head Coach Brandy Corbett statement: 

"I am tremendously proud of these four young ladies and their achievements this season. Lillie and Katy have had an enormous impact on the progress the Lady Indian basketball program has made over the last two years. This season, both Lillie and Katy took on new offensive roles for our team, knowing these changes would benefit the overall success of our program. Coach Webb and I appreciate their willingness to place the team before themselves and their desire to support our younger players. The addition of Denika and Veronaye to our team has helped our program achieve a current record of 16-7, the best in Lady Indian basketball history. Denika and Veronaye have worked very hard to adapt to our offensive and defensive schemes and their knowledge of the game has grown considerably over the last several months. They bring skills and positive energy to the court each day and have been an absolute joy to coach."
