NSU teams look to get season started off on strong note “I think they’re capable of winning any game they play,” Gipson said about his team. “I expect us to win a lot of games. I maintain the same expectations; to win the North championship and lead us into the postseason.”
Junior Jessica White and lone senior Lindsey Sams highlight the group of returning players. In addition to their vital roles on the court, the pair will also be called on to provide leadership for the RiverHawks’ six freshmen. “They’re good players and good people,” said Gipson. “They will be called on to lead this team.” Sams started 27 of 28 games last season and led the team with 4.8 assists a game. She also averaged 7.6 points a game. White started 25 games a season ago and was the team’s second leading scorer at 10.4 points a game. She was also second on the team in rebounds and third in assists. “Right now we’re about nine deep,” said Gipson. “All of them are good enough to play.” The freshmen will also be called on to contribute for the RiverHawks. Among the newcomers is Fort Gibson product Kendra Dean. In her four years as a prep, Fort Gibson went 101-12. In her career she was a part of four state tournament appearances. Other freshmen to look out for are Cristy Nitz (Dewey) and Alix Perkins (Tulsa Hale).
