The Warriorettes ended their season with a record of 14-10. Center Zoe Zellers (11) said some highlights of the season were beating rivals Austin, Seymour and Jeffersonville.

“We have not beaten Seymour or Jeffersonville in the three years of me being a Warriorette, so when we beat them, it was a great experience,” Zellers said.

On Feb. 5, the Warriorettes played their sectional game against Salem. The Warriorettes lost with a close score of 42 to 51. Athletic Director Jamie Lowry, Salem is the No. 1 ranked Class 3A team and is coached extremely well, so the Warriorettes had a tough team to beat and they hung in there the entire game. Lowry said that although the Warriorettes lost it took a lot for Salem to beat the Warriorettes.

“I think overall the Warriorettes competed well throughout the season. Our conference is extremely tough -- three schools won a sectional title (Eastern, Salem and Brownstown) and then also on our schedule that won a sectional was Lanesville.

“We also played teams that were ranked at the time; we played them so our overall schedule was pretty tough (66th toughest in the state). We will have some big shoes to fill with the loss of seniors Jaylah Mays, Kynleigh Watson and Riley Pool. So, the 2020-21 team will need to hit it hard this off season,” Lowry said.
