We do have some players who have the potential to become very good players. We will need good perimeter play from Alton Hardy, Keith Arbuckle, Andrew Lewis and Todd. Marlatt. We will need Dwayne Houston, Steve Ramos and Troy Somers to be our floor generals. Our lack of size could really hurt us but we will try to make up for it with desire and team play.. The key to our success will depend on our ability to play defense. Our philosophy is “tempo”. By that we mean that we want to control the tempo of the game.

Back after a two year absence, the 1984-85 version of the Lady Lumberjacks will have great difficulty duplicating the success of the past few teams. ‘’Green’’ will be the key word of this year’s squad with twelve new players including two sophomore transfers and ten freshmen. In addition,.the coaching staff will also be dif- ferent with Sheila Parkinson and Cindy DeRocher joining Coach McCourt in place of departed assistant coach Bob Holup Successful starts are often a key to a successful season and this year’s squad will have great difficulty with a “murderous” pre-con- ference schedule.
