East Carter is the wild card in this group. I wouldn't count them out and dismiss them as I feel they will grow as the season progresses. The loss of their 4 seniors and all that experience definitely will hurt, but these younger kids have been competitive and successful coming up through the ranks and I feel by seasons end will give teams fits. Easterling loves to put pressure on teams and I feel like they will continue to do so. Hall and Jackson are the experienced older girls that the younger kids will look to. The Gallion kid is a beast. She fits right in to Easterling's style and I feel will have a break out year. This may not be their season but they will grow up fast and be competitive as the season progresses. They have a ton of young talent also that will be competing for minutes. Again-I don't count this as a down year at East Carter just a growing year for good things to come. Here's hoping you ladies prove the naysayers wrong and have a wonderful season!
