2004 - 05 Gazette Preview
Dec. 1 - Springbrook faces a tall task to repeat last year's success (21-4 record).  But the Blue Devils return one of the County's top players in Keisha Haddock, who, if she feels pressure to exorcise demons from last year's regional final, bears the additional burden of being the go-to scorer on a young team. 

Banks is looking for returning senior guard/forward Lauren Friend to pick up some of the scoring and leadership slack.  With good ball-handling skills and a nice outside shot, Friend is dangerous from the perimeter but has the size and skill to drive the lane.  Other key players are junior guard/forward Joia Daniels, another varsity veteran, and sophomore Eryn Withers, a guard who can play the point. 

The fifth starting spot likely will fall to either Chantel Friend, Lauren's sister, or Kristin Bradley, both returning junior guards.  Sophomore Ashley Moore, who's up from the junior varsity, and freshman Wilize Maleombho have shown promise as forwards.  more . . .

2004 - 05 Journal Preview
- Last season: 21-4, 4A West Region finalist.
- Coach: Tonya Banks (third year).
- Returning starters: F Keisha Haddock (Sr., 5-10), G Lauren Friend (Sr., 5-10).  Others to watch: G Chantel Friend (Sr., 5-9), F Joia Daniels (Jr., 5-9), G Kristin Bradley (Jr.,8), G Eryn Withers (Soph., 5-7).

Springbrook was one win away from its first state semifinal appearance in 11 years, but lost in region championship game in heartbreaking fashion to Damascus, 52-50.  Banks will build around Haddock, a powerful, talented presence in the post. In the backcourt, Friend (6.7 ppg) will join her sister, Chantel, and quick point guard Withers, who is up from the JV.
