Pickens Academy head coach Wade Goodman is faced with the task of replacing the majority of his team’s scoring in Olivia Lewis and Allison Latham. Lewis and Latham were stalwarts on a team that won a state championship in 2017 and advanced to the Final Four in 2018.
The two-time state champion head coach has only seven girls on his varsity roster and with no senior-laden talent at his disposal, Goodman says he is looking for some of his underclassmen girls to step into leadership roles early on.
