Lady Cubs Face Laytonville Warriors Thursday

The South Fork Cubs will be tested right off the bat in girls basketball this week, when they travel to play a dangerous Laytonville team in their season opener on Thursday.
The Warriors are coming off back-to-back North Coast Section championship game appearances and are expected to be competitive again this year, giving the Cubs a challenge right out of the starting gates.
“That’s going to be a tough task for us in the first game,” first-year head coach Chris Conteras said. “We’ll find out where we are.”
Conteras has six players back from last season’s team, including three seniors, on a roster of 10, so experience shouldn’t be a problem.
Adjusting to a new look, however, might take a little time, although the players have been working hard over the first few weeks of practice.
“We’re looking good. It’s still a work in progress, with a new coach and a new offensive system, but the girls are doing good,” Conteras said.

Yes, the Laytonville game will be a good test. I like their energy up that way! South Fork returns a very deep roster this year. We are looking forward to a great year. Go Cubs!
