Manual girls basketball and head coach Holly Nelson have paid their dues rebuilding the program for the last few seasons. However, with 12 upperclassmen and a pair of college-ready players, the Rams have plenty of reasons to believe that this is the year they start seeing results.
Manual returns both of its leading scorers from last year in quick, slashing guard Breyasia Grayson and stalwart forward Nyanna Payton. Freshman Ma’Kya Maxwell joins the Rams as a key freshman to watch after a highly successful eighth grade season. With a fast, athletic squad, Manual hopes to make a name for itself with intense defense.
