Key Returners

Leah Macy | Sophomore | Forward/Guard

Macy is one of the top prospects in the state, regardless of class. In fact, she is one of the top 2025 players on the national level. Macy was all over the KHSAA leaderboards at the end of last season after averaging an impressive double-double, 20.1 ppg and 12.3 rpg. Across the state, she finished: tied-5th in FG percentage (62.3%), 6th in rpg (12.3), 22nd in ppg (20.1), and 28th in FT percentage (79.4%).

Alyssa Murphy | Sophomore | Point Guard

Emma Barnett | Senior | Wing

Barnett will be taking her talents to Ohio University next season, but she will be looking to end her high school career with a bang first. She averaged 11.1 ppg and 6.1 rpg last season. She shot 33.9% from 3.

Mary Smith | Senior | Guard

Smith also averaged double-digit points for the Jags last season (10.6 ppg). She also chipped in 3.6 rpg. Smith shot 34% from 3 as a junior.

Keziah Renee and Abby Reitzel
