The Brook Blog asked Bolingbrook Raiders girls basketball coach Tony Smith to give us a quick breakdown of his roster, telling us what he expects from each player.
Smith's take on the five players who started the season opener -- Ariel Massengale, Morgan Tuck, Satavia Taylor, Candace Nevels and Nicosia Henry -- will be published in Friday's Bolingbrook Sun.
Here's what Smith had to say about the bulk of his roster.
Junior guard Ashley Oliver: "I think she has a chance to be a good point guard for us. She's probably going to play a backup role for us. I think think she's got a chance to be a good backup."
Junior guard Mercedes Griffin: "Mercedes has a chance to be a great wing player. She has the athleticism. Now we have to add the intensity to it, and she's going to be one heck of a player."
Sophomore guard/forward Taylor Tuck: "We're looking for her to break out this year. She played as a freshman for us and we're looking for her to break out this season and show everybody that she's a player."
Sophomore guard Falon Edwards: "She's another kid that played as a true freshman for us. We're looking for her to come out that shell this upcoming season and have some positive time for us."
Sophomore guard Ciera Howard: "Now Ciera is coming back from an ACL (injury). She was one of our toughest kids last season. She's just going to be sophomore too. We're looking for her to bring some of that toughness to us there."
Junior center Marissa Taylor: "We're looking for her to be that enforcer for us. We want her to be tough inside, outside and be that presence in the paint there for us."
