The Highlanders have named a new Girls Basketball coach to replace Shay Lewis whom left to become the new Director of Operations at Oakland in Jackie Steinacker.

Steinacker was Lewis assistant coach last season and was there when Lewis was there. She will hope to make Adams into a competitive team in the tough Red this season with Stoney Creek, Southfield Arts and Tech, North Farmington, and Clarkston. The Highlanders are in a tough district as well with Stoney Creek, Utica, Utica Eisenhower, and Rochester.

Steinacker will have some talent returning in Maggie Rogers, Hannah Simard, Noelle Dunbar, Makayla Smith, and Ryian Owusu back along with a newcomer in Lauren Van Pelt.

Adams opens up the season on December 9th when they will host Orion.

Thoughts:

I think this was a great move for the Highlanders this late in the process to go with Steinacker. Adams will be an interesting team to keep an eye on this season. This should be an interesting transition from Lewis to Steinacker.

We'll see what happens.
