After a 13-9 finish last season, the Concordia Panthers brought back one of their best players in Charlize Cash.
As a junior, Cash showcased her all-around talent by averaging 12.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 4.1 steals per game. Her impressive stats earned her a spot on the all-state team for the second consecutive year, further solidifying her reputation as one of the area’s top players. With her skill and consistency, Cash continues to be a cornerstone for her team, driving their success and setting a high standard.
In addition to her impressive on-court performance, Cash is also a key leader for the Panthers. Her guidance and commitment to the team make her an invaluable presence in the game and foster a strong team culture.
“I am going to lead by example through hard work and determination,” Cash said. “I’m going to build positive relationships with my teammates and encourage them through tough situations and I am going to build my own confidence so that I can be someone who my teammates look up to.”
Cash and the rest of the Panthers are confident that this season holds special potential. The team is focused, motivated, and ready to make this season one to remember.
“I have a lot of pride in knowing that I am a part of helping this program succeed,” Cash said. “In the last two years, we have already made strides to make our program at Concordia High School a winning program. Having Coach Kuhlman the last two years and now the addition of Coach Carlgren will bring out the best in all of our players so that we can keep going in the right direction.”
