11. St. Paul’s

-

Coach: Pat Conrad

Last season: 18-3, not ranked

Postseason: IAAM B Conference champion

Outlook: St. Paul’s knocked off Mount de Sales in the title game last year, led by a strong performanc­e from guard Destiny Ryles. She returns and should be a big part of their offense. St. Paul’s should have another solid season.

12. Forest Park

Coach: Jermaine Dunn

Last season: 18-4, not ranked

Postseason: Lost in Class 1A North final

Outlook: Forest Park pushed state champion Pikesville to the limit in the Class 1A North Region final, but the Panthers escaped with a 65-62 victory. Neah Henry should help Forest Park on offense, and the Foresters could fare well once more.

13. Reservoir

Coach: Deb Taylor

Last season: 17-7, not ranked

Postseason: Lost in Class 3A East semifinal

Outlook: The Gators will need to make up for the loss of eight players, including top scorer Emily Dorn. But they have Tiffany Hooker back to lead the offense.

14. Coppin Academy

Coach: Ulysses Hardy

Last season: 20-7, No. 14

Postseason: Lost in Class 1A state semifinals

Outlook: The Eagles feature a lineup that’s got plenty of talent. Nyshae Weaver and Kayla Henderson are back. Plus, the Eagles got a few transfers that will make an already-tough lineup even better.

15. Mount Carmel

Coach: Rob Long

Last season: 19-8, not ranked

Postseason: Lost in IAAM B semifinals

Outlook: The Cougars fell to eventual champion

St. Paul’s in the IAAM B Conference semifinals. Mount Carmel played strong in the second half and down the stretch last season, and Long hopes that carries over to this season.
