JV Bucks ready with experienced squad

By Riley Sakurada Posted December 7, 2017

The Lady Bucks are getting ready to kick off a new season, hoping to improve from last year. With new freshmen coming in, the JV squad has the opportunity to make this season great.

The girls have had the best turnout they have had in years.

“Tryouts went well, we had the best turnout we have had for a while,” said coach Amy Jenkins.

With two juniors to lead this year’s team, Jenkins thinks the team will be successful.

“I think we will be OK I have two juniors that played for me last year. I am expecting them to be leaders,” said Jenkins.

They also have seven sophomores who have some experience from last year.

“We have seven sophomores who played freshman last year. I am expecting great things from them this year,” said Jenkins.

The season is on the right track for the Lady Bucks. Practices are going well, and junior guard Macy Munroe feels really good about the season.

“So far, I think that the season is going well, and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the season will go,” said Munroe.

As one of two juniors on JV, Munroe plans on encouraging the team throughout the season. She hopes to take control of the court when she plays and pick everyone up.

“I will be positive and keep the team motivated at all times,” said Munroe.

The Lady Bucks will host South Tahoe on Saturday, December 9, at 10 a.m.

The team: Bailee Brinkerhoff, Carly Capellen, Kelcey Cooper, Macy Delong, Ariana Galindo Godinez, Alyssa Gomez, Reece Kalkoske, Annaie Lopez, Macy Munroe, Lily Pasquale, Bailey Raabe, and Kelsey Smith.
