ES girls have potential

Posted

The results have been mixed so far this season for the Eureka Springs Lady Highlanders, but coach Kyle Farrar said he’s optimistic about his team’s potential.

“It’s set up pretty good for us to have a pretty good year,” Farrar said. “I like where we’re at going into every game.”

Eureka Springs lost to Berryville on Friday, Nov. 11, by a score of 34-18, but Farrar said that game wasn’t indicative of his team’s ability. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Eureka Springs (4-5).

“When you go up two classifications, it’s tough,” Farrar said.

At the Class 2A level, Eureka Springs should have an advantage with its guard play. Junior Brandessa Armer is a three-year starter and freshman Caitlyn Lester can take some stress off Armer.

“We have ballhandlers,” Farrar said. “We won’t be able to be pressed a lot, which is a good thing.”

On the inside, the Lady Highlanders are led by 5-11 senior forward Katie Farrar, the coach’s daughter.

“We’ve got some pretty decent size,” Kyle Farrar said. “The weakness we have is, I wouldn’t say we’re just great shooters. That’s going to be an issue going forward. But if we can shoot the ball well, I like our chances. I really like the group.”

The Lady Highlanders will play in a tournament at Decatur this week, starting with a first-round game against Haas Hall Rogers at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
