MaxPreps 2013-14 Wyoming Girls Basketball Preseason Fab 5 presented by the Army National Guard
Click here to see the girls basketball preseason Fab 5 from every state1. Natrona County (Casper)2012-13 record: 22-5
Head coach: Douglas Diehl
Two-time Wyoming Player of the Year
Kaylee Johnson will lead the way for Natrona, but the 6-foot-3 senior post also has help in the paint from
Gabby Johnson. The Mustangs haven’t won a state title with the Johnsons, and this is the last chance for both.
2. East (Cheyenne)2012-13 record: 23-5
Head coach: Rusty Horsley
The state runner-up returns seven of its top 10 scorers, but will have to rely on 5-10 backcourt siblings
Rachel Erickson and
Sarah Erickson to get past Natrona County. Then again, East did beat Natrona in the preseason last year.
3. Sheridan2012-13 record: 24-3
Head coach: Derek Bissitt
The Broncs lost to East in the playoffs last year, but then shocked Natrona Country in the third-place game. The reasons? A very strong program with an outstanding guard in
Robbie Ryan.
4. Campbell County (Gillette)2012-13 record: 21-6
Head coach: Mitch Holst
Perennial Wyoming power Campbell County won another state title last year, but lost seven seniors to graduation. The Camels (love the mascot) will be young and quick, but the tallest player is 5-8.
5. Douglas2012-13 record: 28-1
Head coach: Jaci Heny
After reeling off 28 straight wins, Douglas was upset by Star Valley in the 3A title game, but there’s plenty of firepower coming back. The key, though, is defense: Douglas held 19 of its opponents to fewer than 30 points last season.
