COLLEGIATE
Coach: Tim Pollock (first year).
Last season: 9-17, lost to Manual 60-18 in 25th District semifinal.
Player to watch: Freshman Mikaela Wright, a 5-4 point guard, averaged 13.5 points as an eighth-grader. âShe has good three-point range,â Pollock said. âShe doesnât blow by you, but she has a nice hesitation move and will shoot some floaters. She does a little bit of everything.â
Other top players: G/F Michelle Kommor (5-6, Jr.); F Paige Ganzel (5-8, Jr.); G/F Sara Hansen (Sr.); C Hannah Watene (6-0, Sr.).
Outlook: Pollock is the Amazonsâ fourth coach in four seasons, having replaced Joel Morris, who now coaches the boysâ team. The two were roommates at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Fla. âIâm completely new to the city and state ⦠so itâs tough to know what weâre up against,â said Pollock, who most recently coached at a South Carolina middle school. âBut Iâve been impressed with their willingness to buy in, especially on defense.â
