Coach: Paul McCann

The Bulldoggers of Dewey High School are looking to use some veteran court experience to their advantage to shock class 3A. Bulldogs head coach Paul McCann enters his second season leading the team and feels they have a few players that will shine on the court. Returning three starters and a starting five that all has plenty of court experience, they feel they have the opportunity to succeed. Cheyan McDaniel (5-11, Sr.) will return to the court for her senior season after averaging 12 points per game a season ago. “She is a three year starter and an all-conference player who is being recruited by a number of schools,” said coach McCann. Gaby Higbee (5-7, Sr.) also returns to the court for Dewey and is another player that is expected to have a big impact for her team. A great all-around athlete, she looks to do various things for her team to give them the best chance at success. An underclassman that might not be on a lot of people’s radar is Maycee Smith (5-8, So.) who put up six points per game as a freshman and is expected to have a bigger role this season. Bulldogger fans will remember Kaleena Downing (5-4, Sr.) who will return to the hardwood for her senior season and is looking to add to the team’s success. The Bulldoggers return five players that averaged a combined 35 points per game, so their team’s court experience is very much relevant and is something that they feel sets them apart from opposing teams.
