ELGIN — The Wolfpack girls basketball team last season showed they belonged among the elite teams in Class D1, earning a trip to the state basketball tournament, finishing the season with a 22-5 record. 

Coach Randy Eisenhauer’s style of play (fast-paced on offense, ball-hawking on defense) has shown time and time again it works here.

“We have a good core of players coming back from last year’s state tournament team.  We will need to have some girls step up and fill in some roles that we will be missing from last year’s team,” he said Monday.

Although three starters from last year’s team were lost to graduation, a strong nucleus returns ready to guide this year’s team to Lincoln in March.
