This season the team is relying on nine returning players and five new additions to fill Brown\u2019s void.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new additions include: guards <\/span>Mikera Patton<\/b> from Southeast High School in Bradenton and <\/span>Jamaica Williams<\/b> from Meade Senior High School in Maryland.

Super Sophomore: Forward Nazlah Morrow is the Lady Sharks top returning scorer and rebounder. She averaged 14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game last season. ALICE MORENO \/ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Returning players include forwards <\/span>Nazlah Morrow<\/b><\/a> (14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game) and <\/span>Alise Markova<\/b><\/a> (six points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.75 blocks <\/span>per game) and guards <\/span>Ahmari Young<\/b> (10.9 points per game) and <\/span>Anija Payne<\/b> (5.2 points and 9.3 rebounds per game).<\/span><\/p>\n

Point guard <\/span>Rio Yamazaki<\/b><\/a>, who averaged 10.3 points and five assists in nine games last year before missing 23 games due to a broken left wrist, is also back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Head Coach Susan Summons believes the squad will build off last year\u2019s 20-12 record if they work on their communication skills and build the cohesiveness they lacked last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping more team chemistry and learning how to play with each [of] the new players is the key,\u201d Summons said. \u201cThey are hungry, more confident, and know they must work harder [to] close out games strong.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Last season, the Lady Sharks averaged 79.7 points and 49.1 rebounds per game but had problems staying consistent. The best example is a 61-51 loss versus Broward College\u2014a team that won only six games last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team is now focused on this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

They started practice in September but center Larissa Abreu and de la sene Cruz have been unable to join the team due to travel restrictions in Brazil. They missed the team\u2019s first scrimmage, a 64-52 loss against DME Academy in Daytona Beach on Oct. 17.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lady Sharks will travel to Fort Myers on Nov. 21 to play against St. Petersburg College at the Florida Southwestern State College Scrimmage Classic, and will host Florida National University on Dec. 14 before starting the regular season at the Theodore R. Gibson Health Center, 11011 S.W. 104th St, versus DME Academy on Jan. 20 at 5:30 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think that everybody will just have to step up and take on their own role on the team,\u201d Morrow said. \u201cI expect us to be conference champions, win regionals, move on to nationals, and take nationals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
