First big test for Vanoss tonight. The state runner up graduated all five starters off last years team. Latta went 0-5 against that group of girls and is ready to get back in the win column against them. I expect Latta girls to be ranked in the top 5 in 2A when rankings come out. Vanoss girls will have to turn Latta over and shoot it really well from deep to win this one. Latta is 6’2 and 6’3 in the middle. Be hard to score in the paint against them.

I think Latta pulls out the win in a close one at Vanoss. Latta has only 10 players on the team for now, and think depth may be an issue throughout the season.

I thought Latta had more than that? They've always had a lot of depth when I've watched them play

I have Latta in my top 5 from the preseason and am sticking with that, I do think it will be a close one, Last year I believe they went into OT

I did not go to the Calera game, but heard they only have 10 total players on the team. Not the depth they have had in recent years.

Could just be missing some players

There coming, Latta 7th and 8th grade are loaded. I expect Roff and and Vanoss to benefit from the amount of girls they have coming up. Lot of talented kids and not enough spots.

Yeah I have heard that had some good ones in girls & boys.

Heard Latta won 47-20? Anyone verify that?

I believe that was the score. Vanoss couldn’t handle the size of Latta. Even the shots that weren’t contested they shot like they were afraid they were going to be blocked. Ellis only played a couple of minutes tonight. She’s dealing with a knee injury. Vanoss also still missing their other big from a injury during softball season. Most of the game Kotaney was being guarding by 4’11 Trinity Blecher. Latta starting five are really good. After those five they struggle. First home loss and loss to Latta since 2015/2016 season. Pretty good run. Good luck to Latta going forward.

6"1/6"2 on 4"11? That's a definite mismatch

Why did Vanoss have a 4’11” girl guarding 6’ girl is a curious thought?

she’s really physical, probably had the best chance to not get pushed around. Probably only gave up 6 points to her in the half court
