[Dookie]

After watching Boyd this summer and knowing who they have returning, I'd say Boyd being number 1 is right on Q. Fraley is the regions best Coach and he definitely gets the most out of his team. With Wheeler returning to run the show and the Shears twins back they will be a tough out. Paynter will fill the role of spot up shooter with Reeves gone but will definitely need to improve on the defensive end. Wheeler and the Shears twins are excellent defenders and Boyd's pressure defense might not be as formidable as in the past but I look for them to play well together as a team and get the job done. Size is over-rated in today's game. Length/Athleticism/Shooting ability seem to be the main aspects of today's game and I feel like Boyd has all these tangibles- plus Fraley's one of the best at developing players. They spread the floor and make you defend corner to corner so I don't feel like size will be much of a hindrance to this team unless they face a team with an athletic big that can run/defend/and score at all 3 levels. Not many of those in the 16th Region. Depth seems to be the only concern for these Lady Lions but Fraley never goes more than 7 or 8 deep anyway. Good Luck Lady Lions!
