Kent State commit Clare Kelly, Olmsted Falls have an edge
By

SOLON, Ohio — The high school girls basketball season begins Nov. 23.

Practices are under way.

Check out the video above and a preview capsule below on Olmsted Falls, as cleveland.com continues its preseason visits around the area.

Olmsted Falls Bulldogs

Coach: Jordan Eaton (fifth season)

2017-18 record: 18-7, 14-4 Southwestern Conference (Division I Elyria Catholic District finalist)

Returning starters: Shannon Carr (5-5, Sr., G), Clare Kelly (5-8, Sr., G), Allison Milligan (5-4, So., G), Danielle Stevens (5-7, Jr., G)

In the rotation: Kaitlyn Hradek (5-7, Sr., G), Allison Milligan (5-3, So., G), Lauren Galaska (5-6, So., G), Grace Simon (5-10, So., G), Nadia Khalaf (Jr.), Jessica Holcomb (Jr.)

Outlook: The Bulldogs' bid for a repeat as district champions faded in that tournament final against Strongsville. With the returning core, led by a Kent State commit in Kelly, Olmsted Falls should be a considerable favorite in the SWC and for a deep postseason run.
