Do not have a true post player (Bertke is a legit post but is a part-time player as she is a softball standout at Cardington) – but they have a number of wings with good post skills who can go down there against smaller defenders.
This is probably one of the top 3-point shooting teams in Ohio – featuring Emma Brown, Emily Seboe, Annie Seboe, Caitlyn Condoleon, Taylor Leatherman, Kerianne Diese and Taylor Leedy who all shoot it at a high clip.
Koncz, Seboe(s), Leatherman, Busson will all post up. Hannah Schill from Hoban is out with a knee injury, but will add great defensive effort and energy upon returning for the exposure circuit.
4 1000 point scorers entering their junior years:
Caitlyn Condoleon, Celina Koncz, Emily Seboe, Casey Bertke
Players to watch:
• Celina Koncz – Celina is a 2-time 2nd-Team All-Ohioan and 2-time Wayne County Athletic League MVP. She led her team to the state final 4 this season. A rare 6 foot wing who plays positions 1-5. She is a great playmaker, who has no problem creating for teammates. Outstanding post moves – uses her length to score down there. Good shot-blocker. Will step out and knock down the 3. Being recruited by a number of D2 schools.
• Emily Seboe – Probably the best scorer of the bunch….elite 3-point shooter with tremendous range. Has already made nearly 160 3’s in her HS career – entering her senior season. She averaged 11 rebounds a night this past season. Holds a handful of scholarship offers. She is best suited as a 3 or stretch 4, but will mix it up on the block and can also rack up assists at a high rate due to her outstanding court vision.
• Taylor Leatherman – A long and lanky wing from Wadsworth, where she was an all-suburban league selection – Leatherman is a great defender. She is a 40+% 3-point shooter and is tough to stop in transition offensively.
• Emma Brown – Dead-eye 3-point shooter who will hit 5 or 6 in a row if she has any space. Good length which helps her get off a number of floaters and runners in traffic. Concussion forced her to miss a majority of the HS season.
• Kerianne Diese – Lead guard at Jackson HS in Massillon, where she was an all-Federal league selection. She rarely gets flustered and is a knock-down shooter when her team needs some offense.
