Strengths
Robbinsville will return most of their roster from last seasons SMC championship team. Offensively the Lady Knights return 15 players who hit over :300 so that will be a strength for this team. Last year was the best defensive team statistically speaking. They fielded at a .951 clip last spring. Losing the SMC Player of the year, Naomi Taylor, will obviously be difficulty shoes to fill. But the cupboard is not bare in Graham County.
