Sycamore’s girls basketball season came to an end last year to Maplewood in the first round of the region tournament.

This year, coach Cody King is looking to see his team extend that run further into the playoffs.

The loss of both Callie Gudino and Brayden Suiter will most likely hurt the Lady War Eagles but returning star Olivia Stuard, who missed all of the 2020-2021 season due to injury, will look to get back into a big role. Kyra Shearon and Izzy McPherson will also be big parts of the success for Sycamore.

“There was a ton of uncertainty about last year and that team battled through a lot of adversity. It didn’t go the way we planned,” Sycamore coach Cody King said. “However, we don’t make excuses and have a renewed focus and energy and are as eager as ever to get back on the hardwood. We return some key players this season including our 2019-2020 leading scorer and recent UT Southern commit Olivia Stuard, who missed last season with injury.”

“We will also rely on some younger girls to play big roles and provide depth. We are going to need it because our new district is going to be extremely tough and every game will be a battle, not to mention the last year’s state champion in now in our region. We have a young but confident group and some lofty goals and ambitions for this season,” King continued.

The season will kickoff the season on November 16 as the Lady Eagles will host Springfield and will first road games will be on November 19 as they will travel to West Creek.

“We have been a good program for a while, but this year we want to raise the standards for this program. This group is focused on taking the next steps and doing the things that will put us in position that come February, we’ll be playing in some really meaningful games,” King said.
