The Bearcats finished 14-18 last season under first year head Coach Katrina Merriweather who also acquired the services of this year's McDonald's All-American Chloe Mann  and a few returning players who should make an impact with these two highly sought after recruits.

Dee finished another successful season in her junior year capturing a second Ohio Ms. Basketball and a third OHSAA State Championship, a resume worth the attraction from Power 5 schools, when asked by the Bearcat Journal 'how much have you grown over the past three seasons,' Alexander replied, "It just makes me feel good and I just know that I'll have many more ways to go with that basketball and being a better person."

Now with the decision being made, moving forward to her senior year will have one less question to answer as she will formally suit up for a hometown team in the Bearcats.
