SEASON PREVIEW The Covington Lady Buccs are coming off of a successful season a year ago where they recorded a 17-9 record, finished runner-up in the TRC with an 11-13 league record, won a sectional championship and reached the district final.
Four players were lost to graduation; Lauren York, Nigella Reck, Ella Remley and Reaghan Lemp, but four Lady Buccs return after lettering a year ago: seniors Kearsten Wiggins and Carlie Besecker, along with junior Taylor Kirker and sophomore Hailey Naff.
Junior Mazelle Reck and sophomore Jayda McClure also return after seeing action at both the varsity and reserve levels a year ago.
Moving up from junior varsity to varsity are sophomores Addison Ventura, Dakohta Kenworthy, Hollan Koffer, and Nell Rogers, while freshman Ramse Vanderhorst rounds out the varsity roster.
Under returning head coach Ellie French, Covington hopes to challenge for the Three Rivers Conference championship with Miami East being the defending champions with the majority of its roster returning in 2023.
