First let me say that I do believe in the potential of the Lady Pioneers this year! And I think that they will not finish last in the district but the district is very competitive this year in my eyes and who knows.
But if you look at the district record of the seniors for their previous 3 seasons (3-25) why would the coaches and/or the media pick them any higher? Who would you put them ahead of in the district? Personally I'd rather be picked last and then surprise and exceed expectations, and I do believe that is exactly what will happen this year!!
