Coach: LINDSEY MYERS
2024-25 Record: 21-7
OUTLOOK
Excitement levels continue to climb in McLoud as the Lady Redskins return a talented group of players under head coach Lindsey Myers. With several key players making their return, the expectations are there for a deep run in post season play.
“We are excited for the opportunity ahead this year. We return all five starters from last year’s 21-win season. We are excited to take steps forward as we go through the season and compete in a loaded 4A girls basketball group,” coach Myers said.
One name opponents will remember is Creighton Conley (5-8, Jr.) who averaged 10.6 points with 6.2 rebounds per contest. Conley is a hybrid guard/forward who excels in all areas of the game.
“She is a player that has the ability to score at all levels of the floor. In addition to her scoring ability, she is tremendous on the boards and has been our leading rebounder the last two seasons. She had a great summer and preseason and we are excited to see her continue to make an impact for our team in her junior season,” coach Myers said of Conley.
Not to be overlooked, Daycie Nemecek (5-11, Jr.) and Emma Eslinger (5-9, So.) are two players who compliment Conley with their own style of play. Nemecek averaged 8.7 points and 4.0 rebounds last year while Eslinger generated 7.4 points with 4.7 rebounds as a freshman. Their play will help set the tone in a tough Class 4A.
Also look for Chloe Mapira (5-4, Jr.) and Claire Mapira (5-4, Jr.) at guard. The Mapira girls will account for nearly 13 points a game with 6.0 rebounds. That production could be the difference in close games. Chloe has started at point guard since her freshman season.
A pair of forwards in Taycee Lewis (5-10, Sr.) and Jordyn Dennis (5-9, Sr.) have the potential to be X-factors this season. With size and athleticism, Lewis and Dennis could come in and play crucial minutes, adding the lineup two players who are tough on the defensive end of the court.
