Consistency…that’s been the mark for Habersham Central for the past 3 seasons. After an 8-win 2021 that resulted in a playoff trip, the 2022 bunch went 13-5 with a Sweet 16 appearance and Region Runner-Up. Last season, the Lady Raiders improved to 15-3, again finishing as Region Runner-Up, and were ranked #9 in the state in the playoff campaign. Now, with 8 starters rolling it back, Hab Central looks to keep the program heading in the same direction.

Head Coach: Jeff Labarbera (7th Season)
2023 Record: 15-3; Region Runner-Up; State Rnd 1; #9 State Ranking

Returning Starters: 8
Key Returners: Paisley Cathey, Riley Wilson, Piper Turner, Addi Banks, Abby Hotard

Team Strengths: “The core of the team is returning,” states Labarbera. “We will have solid defending and GK, great midfield and quality forwards.”

The expectations? “Region Champions,” exclaims Labarbera. “We should have the region Player of the Year on our squad, and hopefully make a 6A playoff run.”
