Coach: Gail Wight (23rd year)

Last year’s record: 16-1 (Lost in Western C final)

Returning players: Seniors — Sarah Averill (HB), Emma Davis (HB), Victoria Forkus (M), Gail Lavorgna (HB), Jean Lawrence (HB), Kayla Merrill (M), Jamie Steven (F), Katie Sumner (F), Sam Tibbetts (G), Rose Wright (HB; Junior — Kallie Brown (F).

Key losses: Megan Bonney, Mariah Bundy, TJ Cowin, Desirae Cox, Carin Donachie, Lindsay James, Sam Largess, Amanda Wiley.

Promising newcomers: Juniors — Naomi Ellsworth (F), Lyndsay Merrill (F), Susan Newkirk (M), Hunter Verrill (Full); Sophomore — Tabitha Corriveau (G).

Outlook: An absolute force last season, a few of the pieces that made the Rebels so strong are gone to graduation. But, as usual, the tank isn’t even close to empty here. Telstar ought to be one of the top teams in the MVC and in the state in Class C again. With 10 seniors still in the lineup, this veteran-laden squad is most certainly going to be in contention.

Coach’s comment: “Our shooting accuracy has improved in the preseason, so circle play should be exciting. We are working on transition play for clean defensive action.” — Coach Gail Wight
