Uncertain expectations for Wildcats heading into new season

Lizi Arbogast / The Outlook Benjamin Russell's Brooklyn Edwards (15) has been hard at work this offseason and should be a big post player for the Wildcats this year.

It’s arguable Benjamin Russell lost the two best girls basketball players in the county from last year’s squad.

The Wildcats graduated the likes of Jaaliyah Caldwell and Aaliyah Thomas, who accounted for quite a bit of the team’s success over the past few seasons. Caldwell was nothing short of a dominating inside player who could be counted on for a double-double virtually every night, and Thomas ran the floor with such veracity and played defense with such tenacity her talents were pretty much unmatched.
