LISBON, Ohio (WKBN) – Beaver Local is expecting major improvements from the girls basketball team this winter.
“We feel confident about the upcoming season,” said coach Tony Sorge. “We have an All-Ohio player in Peyton Roberts (17.4 ppg, 6.7 rpg) returning, Cami Starkey is coming back from a season-ending injury last year, so we expect to be much more competitive with a solid rotation that’ll play very well together.”
Joining Roberts and Starkey will be Calli Sorge (2.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg) plus key contributors in Kamryn Young, Addi Eells (2.7 ppg, 3.4 rpg), Tori Druschel (1.2 ppg) and Karsyn Bowyer (1.8 ppg).
The season tips off with their Nov. 27 game versus Edison.
“This season we’ll have a better rotation and deeper bench, which will allow us to do more on both ends of the court,” Sorge said. “We have four seniors that’ll lead us, who are determined to have success. Our players play very well together as a team, which will result in a more efficient offense.”
