Bears aim for consistency as notable chemistry drives team
Coach Lambert outlines improved defense and depth for the Bears after a 14-15 finish last year. He lauds long-time players Hawkins and Mustard, depth on the bench led by Williams and Magyar, and the group’s shared history since Little League. The goal is a healthy, sharper season with balanced scoring from post players Brizendine Looney and others, while Erika Duncan and Jessica Looney update on return from knee surgery.
