Hoops Preview: Jefferson Lady Dragons

One of the preseason favorites in terms of their region and state projections are concerned: the Lady Dragons are locked and loaded. This you never see – for a SECOND year in a row, the team lost no starters or key players. So the starting 5 are now at least 3-year starters!
