[Stardust]

Lloyd
Coach: Bill Tharp (4th season, 12-59).

Last Season: 7-16 (Lost in 34th District semifinal to St. Henry, 72-22).

Key Players: Jr. G Shelby Rudd; Jr. F Danielle Cheatum; Jr. C Brianna Johns; Sr. F Tolu Mejolagbe; Sr. F Amanda Groeber; Jr. G Tabresha Bell; Soph. F Victoria Stagge; Soph. G Kaitlyn Sheppard.

What's New: A good chance at a first 10-win season since going 12-12 in 2006-07.

Outlook: Lloyd lost just one senior off last year's team and Tharp has slowly built the program from zero losses his first season to five and then seven last year and with a large core of players returning there's a chance at a double-figure win season. Rudd is a sharpshooting guard who led the team in scoring last season, but Tharp is hoping other players have improved enough offensively to take some of the scoring load off Rudd. "We want to be able to spread the scoring out a little better," said Tharp. "I think the others have the ability to step up and do that."
