We’d like to thank our coaches: Varsity head coach Brian Sterling and assistant coaches Doug Ross and Jodi Williams (we’ll Miss you Jodi). JV head coach Morgan Bryant and JV assistant Kylan Brock. Your leadership took these girls all the way to the team’s first district championship in 16 years! Thank you to the parents. You support these players and coaches everyday by coming out and cheering for them during games and feeding them. The countless hours of volunteering doesn’t go unnoticed either!

Finally, we’d like to congratulate the girls on an amazing season. They really showed what the word teamwork means and how working together and being unselfish can lead to big success! We had 8 first year letter winners, 12 academic award winners, representation on the first team, second team and for honorable mention in the MVL and the East District, plus an Honorable Mention for All-Ohio for Liv Reffit!! So thank you and congrats to our freshman- Ayla Hittle, Gabby Prati, Ava Neal, Klara Drummonds, Renee Seward, Caroline Ardrey and Mia Steed. Our sophomores- Camdyn Tyson, Gerran Matthews, Joelle Moreland, Jade Hess, Karley Bollinger, and Desi Harbaugh. Our juniors- Natalie McCarty, Liv Reffit, Megan Kozusko, Keah Jones, Taylor Harney, Cameron Morrison, and Emme Cunningham. And our seniors- Gracie Hutton, Tessa Green, Larsyn Holdsworth, Lauren Leas, and Ally Peterson! These seniors showed true leadership this season, and it paid off in a big way!

It was an amazing season and we can’t wait for next year! Be on the lookout in the fall when we begin planning for next season during our booster meetings! Have a great summer!!
