The 2015-16 season was an intense one for the Joplin Lady Eagles.
The damage bug hit Joplin hard ahead of schedule in the season, as a trio of starters were lost for the season.
The group went 2-23 and was skiped from the locale competition by Willard in the first round, yet a few close amusements could have gone in any case, as indicated by head mentor Jeff Williams.
"We lost three starters right on time because of season-en," Williams said. "We won only two ball games, however had an opportunity to win five or six more. The uplifting news is we just lost one senior who played sparingly."
With wounds playing devastation with the list, a few Lady Eagles were compelled to climb into more conspicuous parts, increasing profitable varsity involvement all the while.
Joplin gives back a large group of players who either began or contributed important minutes last season, including senior Shelby Beaver, junior Jessica Zengel, junior Mikayla Kuehnel, junior Diane Wagler, senior Andy Wilson, senior Sarah Benson, senior Jada Ried and senior Maddie Devore.
Beaver drove the group in both scoring (9.1 ppg) and bouncing back (6.2 rpg). Williams feels the 5'9" senior will be a constrain within.
Newcomers this season incorporate a couple of players coming back from damage.

The Lady Eagles will by and by fight with an exceptionally focused Ozark Conference, which incorporates Class 5 state champion Kickapoo, Class 4 quarterfinalist Carl Junction and Class 4, District 5 champion Hillcrest.
"I have some good times bunch that is coachable, and we will have an intriguing year," Williams said. "We are superior to anything we were a year prior, and the truth will surface eventually how great this group will be."
For Joplin to enhance a year ago's record, focuses in basic minutes will be at a premium.
"The achievement of this group will rely on upon on the off chance that we can score enough to win diversions that we ought to," Williams said.
