Dexter
5-9, sophomore

Delta
5-7, junior

Dexter
5-4, junior
While not a big scorer for the LadyBearcats, Frazier's value is more in leadership and handling the basketball. Frazier, a good defender as well, was Dexter's key ballhandler when they faced a press and the junior was skilled at hitting the open teammate in stride for the shot.
