Girls basketball preview: Valley View
This is another in a series of capsules previewing area high school basketball for the 2009-10 season:
VALLEY VIEW
Coach: Steve Dickson, seventh season
Returning starters
Katelyn Koble, Sr., C, 5-9
Marissa Herlinger, So., C, 6-0
Brooke Lewis, So., F, 5-10
Notable
Three returning starters look to build on last season’s 7-15 record overall and reverse a 3-9 finish in the SWBL Southwestern Division. The Spartans will count on Koble and Herlinger to play strong in the post with point production and rebounds. Valley View finished at the bottom of the SWBL Southwestern Division in both scoring and rebounding last season. Senior forward Breanna Puckett and senior guard Sarah Tipton will also be counted on for stability.

Girls basketball preview: Dixie
This is another in a series of capsules previewing area high school basketball for the 2009-10 season:
DIXIE
Coach: Anya Johnsman, first season
Returning starters: None
Notable
All five starters graduated from the Greyhounds’ team that finished 7-14 overall and 7-5 in the SWBL Buckeye Division last season, including the division’s top rebounder and fourth-best scorer in Kayla Bertke. Johnsman inherits a roster that includes three seniors and five sophomores who have “a willingness to learn and a desire to play.” Focus on fundamentals (Dixie averaged 21 turnovers per game last season) will be key as the team builds varsity experience.

Girls basketball preview: Meadowdale
This is another in a series of capsules previewing area high school basketball for the 2009-10 season:
MEADOWDALE
Coach: Chad Miller, 10th season
Returning starters
Porsche Brown, Jr. F/C, 6-1
Ashley Bumpus, Sr. G, 5-9
Krystyna Garth, Sr. C, 6-2
Notable
Brown and Garth constitute the bulk of the height for Meadowdale, which has hovered near 14 or 15 wins for the past few seasons. The Lions’ best all-around player is Antionetta Tory, Miller said, a junior guard who can shoot and pass with skill. She didn’t play last season to concentrate on other areas but is now back to the basketball team. Bumpus is the team’s defensive leader with enthusiasm and effort, and Meadowdale has gained confidence against several area big-school teams in scrimmages.

Girls basketball preview: Marshall
This is another in a series of capsules previewing area high school basketball for the 2009-10 season:
MARSHALL
Coach: Tobette Brown, 6th season
No returning starters
Notable
Janaye Scott, a junior guard, will inherit leadership responsibilities. She is “a great defender, one of our captains,” Brown said. The Cougars will also rely in part on Autumnlee Higgins, a senior post player who shrugged off other sports to concentrate on basketball and academics, and her game has benefited. Scott and Higgins will help a Marshall team that expects to be strong defensively in trying to defend its city league title. The quick guards will try to move down the court and get the ball into the post.
