The other most notable star for this young Bobcats team has been Marleah Drake. Drake is second on the team with 12.6 PPG and is frequently a key contributor from beyond the arc, shooting an outstanding 40.7% from deep this season. 

The Bobcats currently sit at 11-5 and will look to keep up this great momentum in a marquee matchup against #7 Illinois Central.
