The Lady Trojans are seeking more championships in 2022-23.

(St. Leon, Ind.) – The East Central Lady Trojans will start the 2022-23 season ranked in the top 10.

The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association released their Preseason Top 20 regardless of school classification on Sunday.

East Central is ranked 10th.

The rankings are compiled by 20 panelists who vote for the poll -- one voter each from the 16 regionals; three at-large voters (one each from IHSAA Districts 1, 2 and 3); and the committee chairman (Doug Springer of Northridge).

The Lady Trojans went 22-5 a season ago and captured their third consecutive sectional championship.

This year’s team will be led by seniors Josie Trabel, Laney Baker, Julie Tiemann, and Caitlyn Dick, among others.

East Central is seeking their third consecutive EIAC title and a fourth sectional championship in a row.

They will open the season on Wednesday at South Dearborn.

The Lady Trojans’ schedule features the prestigious Hall of Fame Classic in New Castle, and early November tournament at Corydon Central and new opponents such as Mercy McAuley, Talawanda and Indianapolis HomeSchool.
