Waukon girls basketball team plays to 14-9 season record during 2022-2023 campaign; Senior Maggie Criswell helps herself to every program assist record to lead highlights

The Waukon girls basketball season played to a 14-9 season record during its 2022-2023 campaign that included a 6-4 record in Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) play that placed the Lady Indians in third place in this season’s final team standings. Within that above-average team result this season, a number of best-ever accomplishments were compiled in single-game, single-season and career statistics.

“Our greatest accomplishment was the growth of the team,” Waukon girls basketball coach Ben Rausch said. “We also had numerous personal bests for many of our players.”

A pair of seniors accounted for those best-ever feats, headlining the Indian effort not only in their final season on the hardcourt but for multiple seasons throughout their high school careers. Senior Emma Palmer improved the school record she already owned for the highest field goal percentage in a single season for a player with at least 80 field goal attempts in a season, converting at a 60.8% efficiency around the rim this past winter for one of those all-time bests.
