Coach: Eric Sailer
23-24 Record: 26-4
OUTLOOK
What can be said about the Lady Bronchos of Bethany that you don’t already know? This team is once again one of the favorites to win a state title. Coming off back-to-back championships does mean they will get everyone’s best shot. A fact not lost on coach Sailer.
“With two of the top players in the state returning in Keziah Lofton (6-1, Sr.) and Kayten Donley (6-1, Sr.) this will give Bethany a great core to build around. The Bronchos will look to sophomore guard Ali Linn (5-10) to take on an even bigger role this year, as she is a threat inside and out. With the addition of a 6-foot-1 sophomore transfer, Camryn Regier she will help solidify BHS inside presence and add to our hard-nosed defense,” Sailer said. “Bethany has several upperclassmen who look to make an impact on their team.”
Lofton averaged 19 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists last season while Donley accounted for 13 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists of her own. Other playes are looking to produce this season and have worked hard to become important pieces of the puzzle for coach Sailer.
“Junior Reese Harris (5-9) who missed her sophomore season due to an injury will get major minutes at the guard and small forward spot. Bethany will look for sharp shooters junior Maddison McNutt (5-8) and senior Lauren Koonce (5-9) as players who will add to an already impressive offensive team. Juniors Madison Bibbs (5-10), McKenna Calderon (5-9), and Berkley Johnson (5-9) will give the Lady Bronchos quality depth off the bench,” said Sailer.
Several underclassmen will play key roles as well.
“Underclassman Kamryn Donley (5-11), Laira Halberg (5-11), Emma Sailer (5-11), and Shayne Vonfeldt (5-8) will help round out this very deep team. Bethany again should be in contention to be one of the best teams in the state, no matter what class,” said Sailer.
It’s a great time to be a Bronchos. Follow them on Facebook at Bethany Bronchos Athletics.
