Coach Brian Boze said the talented and deep Lady Hornets team is shaping up as the weather heats up and the important meets.

“We have an incredibly talented junior class and a strong group of seniors that provides important leadership for a lot of the talented freshmen coming into the lineup. Right now, we’re trying to figure out the configuration that will help us most at regionals and the state meet,” Boze said.

Boze hopes to try some of those configurations at Friday’s Golden Triangle meet at Saline High School.
