OUTLOOK

Afton girls basketball enters the season with an experienced core and younger players expected to strengthen its depth. Head coach Tom Hubbard wants the group to build on a 19-6 campaign while continuing the progress established over the past two seasons. Familiarity among the returning players provides a foundation as several prepare for expanded responsibilities.

Brynlee Victor supplies an established perimeter presence after making 87 3-pointers over the past two seasons. Her shooting gives Afton a proven offensive contributor as the coaching staff develops its next combinations. Hubbard also values Victor’s understanding of the game and willingness to compete physically. Those qualities allow her to contribute beyond outside shooting, providing another experienced player who can help the group function together.

Presley Griswold adds athleticism, toughness and energy. Her continued work has positioned her to contribute more significantly, giving Afton another player capable of accepting an expanded assignment.

Mela Sanders supplies another important influence through her preparation and unselfishness. Sanders leads through her actions, providing an example for younger players entering the program. Her respectful approach and consistent effort support the standards the coaching staff wants throughout the roster.

Katee Shouse (Sr.) adds senior leadership after contributing over the past two seasons. Hubbard values her toughness, understanding of the game and commitment to the program.
