Head coach Sharee Griffin is beginning her second year of the Lady Eagles basketball program and has already seen giant improvement from last season when Dawson finished 16-18.
This year, Kendall Ford, Kennedy Smith, and Mia Barre are Leading the Lady Eagles.
Griffin said that their offensive strengths feature multiple shooters and all-around athleticism.
“We lack overall team experience and size in the post,” Griffin said. “However, we do have quickness and aggressiveness to overshadow some of weak spots.”
