The 2024-2025 Waukon girls basketball will benefit from the return of six varsity letterwinners from its 13-9 campaign last season. Those six experienced veterans include the spectrum of grade levels in leading an overall high school squad that includes a total of 23 young ladies from the freshman on up through senior grade levels.
Leading that high school program, in addition to making up half of this season’s returning letterwinning core, is this winter’s trio of seniors in Keira McCormick, Reese McCormick and Bella Moudy. The junior pair of Willa Troendle and Elle Wilkins and sophomore Blythe Bucknell complete that list of veteran returnees from last winter’s hardcourt campaign.
“These girls will provide good leadership for us,” second-year Waukon girls head basketball coach John O’Neill said of his letterwinning returnees. “They have experience from last year and hopefully that will make them more comfortable and confident this year.”
The Lady Indians were scheduled to get their 2024-2025 quest underway Friday, November 22 at East Buchanan, with details of that contest printed elsewhere on this week’s Sports pages. They are next slated to host Jesup Tuesday, November 26 and will then play at MFL/MarMac Monday, December 2 before hosting North Fayette Valley Thursday, December 5 and playing at Spring Grove, MN Friday, December 6.
