Coming into the 2019-2020 year, the Lady Tigers basketball team had some questions of who was going to fill some of the scoring role left behind by the four seniors. One of the players who stepped up big on Tuesday night against Van Meter was junior Grace Hardcastle, who recorded 14 points on 5/7 shooting including two threes. She also recorded eight rebounds as well and two steals.

Van Meter had the Lady Tigers number in last year’s contest, but ADM was very prepared against a mostly similar team as the Lady Bulldogs. Grace Hardcastle will be a key player for this year’s team, and if she can continue to have solid performances like the one that she had on Tuesday, count on the Adel-Desoto-Minburn Lady Tigers to be an even better team this year.
