The 2016-17 basketball season will feature a mixture of players suiting up in a Thunder uniform. While the girls return starters Carolyn Dinkel, Taylor Kingston, and Rachel Middendorf, there will be new faces filling in behind them. A big question mark will be finding players to replace a lot of...
