in the fall of 1990. In 1992, she assumed the role of statistician/computer

moved on to play at St. Mary’s College in Moraga. Two other sophomore starters moved on to continue their playing careers—Krysten Copeland to Southern Oregon University and Marie Sweet to Sonoma State University. Ashley and Jen, who are co-captains along with freshman Holly Cramer of the 2011-2012 team, are joined by fellow returnees Jenna Reed and Chelsea Williamson. New to this year’s team are sophomores Julia Cratty, who played last season at Cal Lutheran University in Southern California, and Faatimah A, who played at City College of San Francisco. Skyler Olsen, a 1st Team All-League player from Kelseyville High School, red-shirted last season and joins this year’s squad as a freshman. For the Bear Cubs to make it to the State Tournament for the third year in a row, the talented group of freshman will have to play up to their potential and adjust to the much stiffer competition at the junior college level. Arianna Hanson 
and Hannah Dolan, who were teammates at Rincon Valley Christian HighSchool, were co-MVP’s of their league. Whitney Edens from Cloverdale was league MVP and Press Democrat Small School Player of the Year. Three other freshmen earned 1st Team All League honors-- McKenzie Mangino from Ursuline, Holly Cramer from Rancho Cotate, and Anandi Jiminez from Montgomery. Cynthia Arata, who graduated from Windsor High School in 2010, was 1st Team AllLeague and selected to the Press Democrat Large School All Empire team. The Big 8 Conference is one of the toughest in the state, as evidenced by five of the teams qualifying for the NorCal play-offs last season. If the Bear Cubs hope to defend their title as Conference Champions and go far in the play-offs, they must continue to work hard and keep improving their individual skills while developing into a cohesive unit.
