Laurel Gators Basketball Ranks #1 in Cleveland.com Top 25 Rankings

Despite the uncertainty of the pandemic, Cleveland.com recently published its top 25 list for this season's girls' basketball and the Laurel Gators took the number 1 spot!
The team finished out last season with a record of 23-4 as a Regional Finalist. The article states that "Four starters return from a team that many felt was the best Division II team in the state. This group is loaded again and has added a possible standout post player in 6-1 freshman Helen Holley '24. The Gators can play a variety of defenses, with a tight man-to-man being their bread-and-butter. But all defenses will involve intense ball pressure, as Laurel makes a living off easy baskets following turnovers. The stars are Taylor Thierry '21, who has signed with Ohio State, and Mari Bickley '21, who has multiple big-time offers, but this team boasts talent across the board. The schedule is even more challenging than last year, as the Gators try to prepare for a run to the state tournament in Dayton."
