The Pleasantville girls basketball team will return their entire team from last season.

At the end of last season the Trojan girls did not graduate anyone so Pleasantville fans will see the same players this season. The Trojans roster this season will include seniors Joelle Johnson, Emily Roe, Hope DeMan, Manadia Ibrahim, Kyleigh McConnell, Faith Nelson, and Addie Van Ness. Johnson led the team in scoring last season by a large margin and was one of the top players in the entire state. DeMan, McConnell and Roe were the other significant offensive contributors from last year. Second year head coach Allyson Price says there are several advantages of bringing everyone back.

“I’m super excited that everyone is coming back. Just with the idea that they know what I wanted last year running the offense and running the defense. These practices, the first three days I haven’t had to do a lot of teaching because we already know what we are supposed to be doing from last year. It’s just been a lot of more practice being more competitive getting up and down so I’m going into practice feeling more ready I think just with them already knowing as a team what we’re anticipating to run.”

The Trojans will open their season on November 26th at home against Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.
