With the 2006-2007 season approaching fast the Keelhaulers look forward to the season the addition of seven new players that will all play key roles this season. 

Nakia Watson, a guard from Las Vegas played two seasons at Porterville College where in her freshman year she helped lead them to one of the top seeds in post season play.  In her sophomore year she led her team in both scoring (16) and assists (3.0).  Nakia looks to be a great combo guard with her scoring and ability to find the open player.  Jessica Dillman, out of Apple Valley Ca., another Junior College transfer played at Victor Valley College in Victorville.  Jess will bring solid post moves, rebounding and toughness to the court this year.

Keniya Thurman comes to us from Sacramento.  At Highlands High School Keniya was able to shoot from the arch at a 35% rate.  She will be asked to continue her shooting at Cal Maritime.  Alyssa Reyes, out of West Sacramento, lead her team at River City High School in Assists and Steals.  Alyssa looks to step into the role of point guard for the Keelhaulers and be the floor general.  Lauren Westbrook and Jessica Cannon both come to Cal Maritime from Mesa Verde High School in Citrus Heights.  They both bring scoring, defense and a solid work ethic to the team.  They both are going to help with the scoring load this year.  Angela Jackson out of Vallejo High School helped lead Vallejo High School to the NorCal playoffs and a win at Arco Arena in Sacramento.  Angela looks to help the Keelhaulers out with her ability to shoot the midrange and crash the boards. 

Coach Covell is very excited about the upcoming season with this incoming class as well as the players that he has returning. 

Go Keelhaulers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
