RECORD: 14-3 overall, 7-3 in O-K Red Conference

KEY ATHLETES: Senior Alli Keyser, who has been a force this season in the
scoring department. Most recently, Keyser broke Grand Haven’s all-time scoring record
with 1,314 points, when the previous record was held by Emma Veach. Senior Esther
Byington has also been a key contributor with her inside presence, forming a formidable
one-two combo with Keyser. From the perimeter, junior Jolee Houle has been the team’s
sharp-shooter, most notably with a 21-point performance against West Ottawa.

THEY SAID IT: “I’m proud of the team that we’ve become and how we all play
for each other,” senior center Olivia McMullen said. “I’m looking forward to all of us
growing stronger both individually and as a team.”

NEXT GAME: The Lady Bucs have a challenging end to their season with road
games against East Kentwood and Muskegon, as well as a home contest with Rockford.
