OUTLOOK

Caney enters the new season with a group that understands what it means to compete at the high school level. Coach Jessica Crites has guided the program for ten years, and she has watched this roster grow through the ups and downs of last season’s 12 and 15 finish. The girls have approached the new year with a maturity that reflects their experience, and the coaching staff believes they are ready to take another step forward.

The team features players who have learned how to handle the pace and physicality of varsity basketball, along with younger athletes who bring fresh energy to practices. Coach Crites has emphasized communication, poise with the ball, and confidence in the half court, and the group has responded with steady improvement. The girls have worked to tighten their defense, trust one another in transition, and play with a competitiveness that shows up in every drill.

As the season gets moving, Caney looks to build its identity around effort, smart possessions, and team first mentality. Coach Crites has seen the players begin to embrace those expectations, and she believes that commitment will make them a tough opponent as the year progresses. Supporters can follow the team through the Caney Public School Facebook page, where updates will highlight a group that is determined to show its growth and represent its school with pride.
