Outlook: The Lady Falcons are welcoming a slew of new players this season. These players have provided depth to a program once limited in this area of the program. They have a true point guard in Jayla Gudz, who transferred in from Buford. Her experience and skills will help elevate the Lady Falcons’ performance on the floor. While all the players are getting to know each other and coach Newton’s system, things have been going well thus far.
“The chemistry is really good this year,” senior Bella Brick said. “It will play a big part in how we play on the court.”
The team’s chemistry will be important as it heads into a new region. AAAAA Region 8. This is a solid region with steady-state playoff representatives in Jefferson. It also has Loganville and Winder-Barrow.
Look for the Falcons to make the playoffs this season.
