Avalon is poised to make some noise in the CIF Southern Section Div 5A playoffs.
The Lady Lancers ended the season 15-9 and ranked 5th in the division with a first round bye.
“We really challenged ourselves against ranked bigger schools, and feel as though that has helped us to be playoff ready,” said Coach David Hart. Another reason Avalon will make a run for the CIF Championship is senior Joanna Chavoya.
Joanna was a freshman who played for the Lady Lancers when they made the finals in 2012.
This year she is leading the team back with a 23 point a game average, first on the team in steals, second on the team with rebounding and assists.
Other players to look out for are point guard Taryn Minuto, high flying rebounder Carly Glass, and up and coming freshman Madeline Hiniker.
Overall this team is loaded with hard working, role players who would do anything for the other players.
“Team-wise, this might be the best overall team I have ever had. They truly work together, they are phenomenal students, and simply great kids,” Hart said.
You can catch the Lady Lancers in the second round of playoffs here in Avalon, this Saturday at 5 p.m., at the High School Gymnasium. Avalon would love your support.
