Projected starting line-up for 2009-10 Highland Women's B-Ball team

PG - Alexi Tann
SG - Suporia Dickens
SF - Mallory Magee
PF - Courtney Shiffer
C - Ashanti Walker

Here's why. Tann returns to a team as Highland's floor general with a year under her belt. Her responsibilities at the point will increase with the departure of Jackie Barton.

Dickens has experience as more of a forward, but will likely be asked to be the team's slasher this season. What Dickens lacks as far as a shooting touch, she more than made up for with her speed and athleticism while playing for the back-to-back state runner-up Freeport girls basketball team.

Magee can shoot deep from the outside, including 3-point shots. She, at times, can hit from the outside corner, which is why I think she'll transition to the 3.

Shiffer is a natural power forward, despite her lack of size. She was an excellent post player for the Pretzels last season and I think her skill sets will work just fine for the Cougars this winter.

Walker seems like the perfect fit at center, as she may be the only legit six-footer for Highland this year.

Taylor Gallentine and Renee Deuth I think will work fine off the bench and could fill in just in case they work better for the team. Magee has to stay on the floor, I believe, because of her versatility.

Well
