Coming into the 205-26 season, the Lady Tigers are loaded with youth and potential, aiming to build on experience while staying competitive in North Star League action. Head coach Sherry Leitz knows her team is still developing but sees plenty to be excited about. 

“The Lady Tigers are still on the younger side with mostly sophomores and under on the team,” Leitz said. “We will continue to build our program and be competitive in league play.” 

Roster Outlook 

Mullan’s lineup features a mix of returning players and fresh faces. Senior Avah Blankenship will be the team’s leader, guiding a roster heavy with underclassmen.  

“I see her stepping up as a team leader and helping guide the younger players,” Leitz noted. 

Sophomore Caylee Crandall returns as the point guard and is expected to control the game offensively. Incoming freshman Lacie Morris adds depth on both ends of the floor, while junior Rylee Niemi and sophomore Raelynn Kostelich will handle guard duties. In the post, sophomore Kaydence Elliott provides size, and newcomer eighth-grader Arianna Ullrich rounds out the roster. 

“I’m excited about the mix of returning experience and young talent we have this season,” Leitz said. 

Goals and Identity 

Communication and offensive execution will be key areas of focus for the Tigers. Leitz is eager to see how her players grow and adjust to each other as the season progresses. 

“With strong leadership and a promising group of young players, I’m excited to see how the Lady Tigers compete this season,” she added.
