Lady Indians looking forward to 2010 season..

The 2010 Lady Indians will have many new faces since the 2009 season but coach Mitch Smith will look to his four sophomores to provide the team with leadership. Returning will be all-region Symone Nettles (SS), Alyssa Chambers (CF), all-region Stacee Whittle (1B) and Amanda Karn (RF).

"We are very young this year, we have to get our pitching right early on. I hope that Leigha Hite a freshman will be able to give me innings along with Samantha Martin, both freshman. I will also need innings out of Amber Hiers and Kandyce Ranew.
I feel like we will be able to hit the ball but our defensive play will determine our success," head coach Mitch Smith.
The Lady Indians kick-off the season January 30th at Georgia Military College.
