OUTLOOK

Without any experienced players coming into the program, Saddleback is at a disadvantage in the league. “It’s a real struggle,” Anderson said. “The economic differences are a major hurdle. A lot of the kids have to work and have younger siblings to take care of.” But Anderson, in her fourth year at the school, is more hopeful this season. “I’ve got a real hard-working group,” she said. “Our size is going to hurt us, but we are going to be more competitive and a little deeper than we have been in the past. . . . The group of kids that I have now knows the game. It’s just a matter of getting used to each other and knowing what it takes to win.” The Roadrunners start three sophomores, two of whom also started as freshmen. One is Turner, who led the team in scoring (12 points a game) and was a second-team all-league selection. The other is Chavarria, who plays point guard. “She did better than even I expected,” Anderson said. “I thought they’d just eat her up, but she didn’t seem to let the pressure get to her.” Wiora, the MVP on the junior varsity last season, gives Saddleback a second player taller than 5-9.
