Jenna Harmeyer, captain on the La Jolla High field hockey team this past season, will also fill a major role as a leader on the girls basketball team as a junior.
"We are actually looking at some pretty big changes this year," said Harmeyer via Facebook, acknowledging that center Madeleine Gates will not be continuing in basketball after stellar freshman and sophomore years. She also stated that veteran guard Amanda Polcyn, also a junior, will not be playing basketball for the Vikings this year, which is news to this reporter.
Earlier in the week, guard Helen Lee said she will be playing soccer rather than basketball during the winter.
Said Harmeyer, "I will be the only starter from last year who is returning, so it's going to be a hard year, but I think we can pull through."
Regarding new head coach Johnnie Horne, she commented, "Coach Horne has a lot of great ideas and I know he will be able to get us all working together well."
Harmeyer, who also is a sprinter in track, keeps things positive and has been a good spokesperson for her teams in the past. "This will only be our second week of practicing all together as a team, so I'm optimistic that we will have a good season," commented the junior.
