Bristow girls basketball enters the season with a young roster and two returning offensive contributors ready to help guide a large freshman group. Head coach Matt Morgan expects his team to compete hard as it builds on a 10-15 campaign. How quickly the newcomers develop will be central to the season, with several freshmen expected to take on important roles.
Josie Morgan (5-7, Jr.) provides an established presence in the backcourt. She averaged 6.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 2.1 steals last season, contributing across several statistical categories. A starter since her freshman year, she brings experience that will be particularly useful alongside younger teammates.
Matt Morgan praises Josie’s work ethic and ability to improve the players around her. Her combination of scoring, passing and defensive contributions gives Bristow a familiar player to build around as responsibilities are established throughout the lineup.
Cambri Cantrell (5-2, So.) is returning as a guard after averaging 4.5 points, 1.5 assists, and 1.4 steals. She finished her freshman season strongly and earned a place in the starting lineup, giving her experience to carry into the upcoming year.
Rylee Linker (5-10, Jr.) provides an option at forward. Her presence gives Bristow another junior as the coaching staff develops the lineup around its returning backcourt contributors.
The freshman class includes guards Lakyn Batschelett (5-4, Fr.), Kyreana Matlock (5-6, Fr.), Harper Johnson (5-6, Fr.), Ava Jolley (5-4, Fr.) and Sarah Waltrip (5-4, Fr.). Kynlee Nestlerode (5-9, Fr.) adds another young option at forward. Their progress will help determine the team’s available depth and combinations. Morgan is assisted by Becky Busch and Scooby Fullbright.
