Hiland Hawks — Season Preview


Times-Reporter staff report

Head coach: Dave Schlabach (25th year).

Last year: 27-2 overall, Division IV state semifinal; Inter-Valley Conference champions at 16-0.

Returning letter winners: Seniors Brittany Miller (5-6 guard), Lish Miller (5-8 guard) and Megan Beechy (5-6 guard), juniors Angie Troyer (5-7 guard), Jess Troyer (5-7 guard) and Isabelle Fowler (5-6 guard) and sophomores Kennedy Schlabach (5-5 point guard) and Sara Keim (5-6 guard).

Promising newcomers: Junior Melissa Hostetler, 5-11 forward; sophomore Morgan McMillen (transfer from New Philadelphia) and freshmen Tiffany Weaver and Mya Blochlinger.

Coach’s outlook: We are still young, but more experienced and will have more of a post presence this season. Our guard play and perimeter scoring will be a strength.
