OUTLOOK
Jay girls basketball begins a new chapter under first-year head coach Bronson Barnes with experienced returners and younger players preparing for larger responsibilities. Coming off a 7-20 campaign, the Lady Bulldogs have upperclassmen at several positions and a sophomore guard expected to become more influential.
Harlan Blackfox (5-6, Jr.) supplies an established backcourt presence after averaging more than 8.0 points as a sophomore. Her season included three games of more than 20 points, demonstrating an ability to handle significant scoring responsibility.
Jocelyn Stapleton (5-7, So.) is another player expected to receive substantially more minutes. She gained some experience as a freshman and now has an opportunity to establish a larger role.
Kaydee Buzzard (5-6, Sr.) supplies another senior guard. Jovy Ward (5-9, Sr.) adds an experienced forward, giving the younger group upperclassmen at different positions.
Mia McElwee (5-7, Jr.) and Jaliyiah Studie (5-6, Jr.) provide additional frontcourt options. Their contributions will help determine the supporting rotation around the featured guards.
Keely Hollenback also brings broad involvement to the program. Her activities include FFA leadership, livestock competitions, student council, basketball and track, along with community service.
