The Lady Warhawks had a very rough start and finish to this season. After finishing 12-16 and having some sparks of great play, they finished the 2020 season 2-13. A big factor that played a part in this disappointing season was COVID-19. The protocols and rules coming into play limited the Warhawks when it came to practicing and being able to become more solid as a team.
Last year, the Warhawks had many junior and senior leaders who knew how to win when games got tough and close. Unfortunately, this year this team was noticeably young and inexperienced, so being thrown into the fire may have been too much.
Senior Catlin Carter had an impressive season and led the team with an average score of 13.5 PPG. She led the way and showed that she was the go-to scorer when needed. Carter ended the season averaging 13.5 PPG while shooting 33% from the 3PT line.
As with any basketball team, there will usually be a young shining star that no one knows about. For the Lady Warhawks, that star is Jamya Tyus, who averaged 9.1 PPG while scoring at a rate of 48% from the floor.
The bright side of this disappointing season is that the Warhawks got a year older and had a chance to bond as a team more since COVID-19 has stalled a lot of practices.
