Castillejos on the 2016 Lady Rebels: “I feel we're building. We were young last year when the core group was full of sophomore and juniors and I'm sure that was a factor in last year's struggles. This year I think we're a little bit wiser and more mature. The keys to the season is solidifying the defensive back and increasing the speed of play. Another key is the play of the midfield and how we handle it going forward."
Notes: The Lady Rebels should be an improved team considering how young they were last year....In order to make a big jump, they;re going to find a way to score as leading scorer Richardson (Wayland Baptist) has graduated. Luna is the team's leading returning attacker....Castillejos said his team will have a couple of extra non-district games to prepare for the usually tough 3-6A, which should help the tean gain chemistry and imrpove....Lee has 15 letterwinners coming back from last year's squad.
