The Lady Leopards have had a two-year hiatus from the playoffs. Banks County is looking to change that in 2025, as individuals will seek to take the next step toward making this team competitive.

PRESEASON INFO

2024 Record: 1-13; No Playoffs
Head Coach: Alan Hayes (2nd Season)
Returning Starters: Unknown (11 returning players, 5 seniors)
Key Departures: Molly Howard, Katelyn Wilburn, Brandi Minor, Ellie Benyehudah
Key Players: Defenders-Marisa Aguilar and Jadyn Lefevre; Forwards-Alyssa Evans, Natalie Sullivan and Melany Camarena; Mids-Camila Brito, Bailey Baker, Nayely Henriquez; Goalie Lena Parker
Strengths: “It looks like we will have a strong, and experienced defensive line to help our goalie and we have a deep bench of good forwards to help us score,” says Hayes. “Also, we are looking at a good group of new talent to develop over the next couple of years.”

“We are looking at a tough non-region schedule with several 4-A schools but are hoping to keep them to low scores,” adds Hayes. “For our region play, this should be an easier region than last year and we have as strong a team, if not better, than last season. Our goal is to increase our wins and to decrease our allowed goals.”
