Coach Kandolin gave SDSB the following season preview information:
We look forward to a very successful year. We will be returning a solid nucleus of players that will have a great amount of varsity experience. Only losing one senior from last year's squad, this group of players will have State Experience to build on.
Caitlin Duffy will be the leader on the floor and a player that can do pretty much anything. She has put in considerable time to be more explosive offensively and stronger defensively. Maddie Merriam, Bri Arity and Tessa Pesicka will also bring great senior leadership and experience back for the year. The underclassman Madi Kirsch, Moira Duffy and Alexys Swedlund will also contribute greatly to our success this season.
On any given night, there could be any team in the Black Hills Conference that could put together a great game and get a win. Certainly a top contender will be Spearfish, after dropping down to class A, they bring a strong athletic group to Region 8. Other contenders will include Belle Fourche, Lead and Red Cloud.
