The Wheaton/Herman-Norcross girls basketball team is hoping to get back over .500 this season after going 9-17 and 10-16 overall the past two seasons.
Back to lead the team this year is head coach Darin Rinke, who has been at the helm of the girls basketball program at W/H-N since 2017-18 after taking over for Tim Gail.
The only graduate from last year’s team was Maycee Tolifson, but the Warriors return 10 of their other 11 letterwinners from last winter’s team.
W/H-N is set to open up the schedule with four-straight home games. The Warriors open up the 2020-21 schedule Thursday, Jan. 14 at home against Hancock, followed by a home game against Sisseton, Tuesday, Jan. 19, and another home game at Herman-Norcross against Battle Lake, Thursday, Jan. 21.
Overall, the Warriors have 16 regular-season games scheduled, including eight at home. Teams can have at most 18 games scheduled this winter during the regular-season.
W/H-N was 5-4 at one point last year before falling to 6-12 one month later. The Warriors rebounded to go 4-4 over the remainder of the schedule.
West Central Area won last year’s Pheasant Conference title with a 7-1 league mark, while Hancock was second (6-2), CGB third (4-4), W/H-N fourth (3-5), and Ortonville fifth (0-8).
W/H-N ended the season with a 56-42 loss to Parkers Prairie in the opening round of the Section 6A Girls Basketball Tournament.
