As the 2025–26 American Midwest Conference (AMC) women's basketball season tips off, all eyes are on Columbia College's quest for a fifth straight tournament title. But in Nevada, Missouri, the Cottey Comets are quietly building momentum of their own—anchored by a fresh vision, renewed energy, and a new leader at the helm.

Cottey enters the season ranked 7th in the AMC Coaches' Poll with 43 points, just behind Health Sciences & Pharmacy and Mission. While the preseason rankings favor perennial powers like Columbia, Stephens, and Williams Baptist, the Comets are focused on growth, grit, and making noise when it matters most.

A New Chapter Begins

The biggest storyline for Cottey is the arrival of Head Coach Tim Eatman, a seasoned leader with a reputation for player development and culture-building. His appointment signals a new era for the program—one rooted in accountability, toughness, and competitive consistency.

Underdog Mentality, Upset Potential

While the Comets didn't place any players on the AMC preseason honors list, that only fuels their underdog mentality. With a roster blending returning contributors and promising newcomers, Cottey is positioned to surprise opponents who overlook their depth and defensive tenacity.

The team's schedule includes key matchups against top-ranked Columbia and rising contenders like Stephens and Williams Baptist—opportunities to test their mettle and climb the standings.

Conference Outlook

  • Columbia College leads the poll with 77 points and five first-place votes, aiming for its 10th tournament title.

  • Stephens and Williams Baptist follow closely, each earning two first-place votes.

  • Cottey sits in the middle of a tightly packed second tier, where just nine points separate 4th from 7th.

What to Watch

  • How quickly Cottey adapts to Coach Eatman's system

  • Breakout performances from under-the-radar returners

  • Key home games that could swing the Comets' postseason fate

With a new coach, a chip on their shoulder, and a hunger to rise, the Comets are ready to rewrite expectations in the AMC this season.
