Trio of Lady Bear Seniors on Registers Top 10 Players to Watch

TRIO OF LADY BEAR SENIORS ON REGISTERS TOP 10 PLAYERS TO WATCH

2. Cassidy Lane, senior, Margaretta Lane is also committed to play Division I basketball next year. She's headed to Gardner-Webb in North Carolina. Lane contributed team highs of 10.9 points and 8.9 rebounds a contest for the Polar Bears, who won the SBC Bay Division title and a district championship. Lane missed most of the spring softball season, healing up from a wrist injury. She should be ready to go for Margaretta. "Good basketball teams usually start with a good point guard and a good post player. We've got that post player in Cassidy," Polar Bears coach Ray Neill said. "She's going to demand respect of everyone we play. Cassidy is a very intelligent player with great feet and great hands. "In today's basketball, having someone that is productive with their back to the basket is somewhat of a rarity because of the 3-point line. We are fortunate to have that presence in Cassidy." 8. Kenadie Saylor, senior, Margaretta As tough as they come, Saylor did a little bit of everything for the Polar Bears last season, averaging 7.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals a game. Saylor is surrounded by experience and has the ability to score if Margaretta needs it. She guards with tenacity and isn't afraid of contact. Saylor leads a strong Margaretta senior class that expects to keep the Polar Bears' SBC Bay Division championship streak alive. "Kenadie is a freak athlete," Neill said. "Her biggest presence thus far in her high school career has been on the defensive end. We are hoping we get that type of performance on that end again from her this year, but want to see an improvement on offense." 9. Ellyse Schaefer, senior, Margaretta Despite battling injuries last year, Schaefer helped lead the Polar Bears to league and district championships. She averaged 8.3 points and 2.5 rebounds a contest. Schaefer made and attempted almost twice as many 3-pointers as any of her teammates. If she can avoid the injury bug, watch out for the shifty guard to be even more explosive for Margaretta this season. "Ellyse played last year with a couple of health issues that hindered her playing ability," Neill said. "She gutted it out playing all season with not one nagging injury, but two. We are excited about her being back healthy. She played last year in a knee brace, but is no longer wearing it. She has the ability to shoot the 3, but her getting to the rim is something we're excited about."
