While this team has been struggling Freshman Mia Henkins on the potential of this team, “Four of our five starters are freshman, so we don’t have a ton of experience yet. I think in a year or two once we decipher what lineups play well together and what skills we need to improve on, we can start taking over games.” 

The next time the Lady J’s play is when they travel to Geneva on Wednesday to play the Golden Tornadoes. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m.
