Texas State building confidence after first two games

Texas State is counting on its continuity to take the program up a level.

In three seasons, head coach Zenarae Antoine’s 2018 recruiting class of Ja’Kayla Bowie, Da’Nasia Hood, Jaeda Reed and Kennedy Taylor has yet to post a winning percentage above .500 or advance past the second round of the Sun Belt tournament. But the group has stuck together, learned from each grinding season and gotten incrementally better. So have many of the classes that came after it.

Now, in a conference that saw nearly half of its roster spots filled with new faces in the offseason, the Bobcats stand out by having the fewest with just three newcomers and 11 returners.
