Relationships outweigh losses Jaiden Herald Co-Editor-in-Chief
With a family atmosphere, individual achievements and a 29-game season, the Warriorettes maintain a winning record as they approach the conclusion of their 2019 season. At press time, the team was currently 20-9 in regular season and 7-1 in the Mid-Southern Conference. “I am proud of how the girls have stayed very consistent throughout our long season. We have fought to get 20 wins,” Coach Alex Johnson said. The team placed third in the Mid-Southern Conference. “I believe this season has gone very well for our team. We have all become close on and off the court. We have of course had our ups and downs, but in the end, we are all one big family,” Audrey LaMaster (11) said. Over the course of the season, the team has grown together as a family unit. “The team has bonded and became a lot closer. We have also grown as a team and learned to work together using each other’s different talents,” Aubrey Asdell (9) said.
Hannah Brown (12) and LaMaster achieved personal milestones throughout the season. LaMaster reached her 500th kill against Charlestown and Brown recently earned her 2,000th assist in match against Jennings County. “Getting 2,000 assists was a huge accomplishment for me. However my teammates really pushed me to help me reach this goal,” Brown said. The Warriorettes drew Salem in the sectional game played on Oct. 15 at Silver Creek. Before the game, Brown predicted, “We just drew Salem for our sectional, and I think it will be a great game. We played them during season, and it was a very close match ending in five sets.” The Warriorettes fell to the Lady Lions 3-2 in five sets. The Warriorette’s took the victory in the first two sets before falling short in a 32-30 third match. The Lady Lions overcame in the final two matches. “While I wanted nothing more than to win, I know that in twenty years I won’t remember the outome of this game. In the end, I am going to remember the relationships I made on this team and celebrate our successes,” Elle Fleenor (12) said.

As the football team concludes its regular season with a record at press time of 3-6, they reflect on their accomplishments and regrets. Coach Steve Deaton is most proud of the improvements he has seen in his players through the drills they have practiced each day. These drills paid off when the team defeated Corydon. “I am most proud of our win at Corydon on their homecoming night. Corydon is an established football program and we have beaten them two out of three years,” said Head Coach Kyle Mullins. Running back Traven Crawford (10) said that season has been rough at times, but overall, he thinks it went well. Despite the good season Crawford believed the team has had, he regrets how much he fumbled the ball. Disagreeing,
Deaton said he does not have any regrets, especially not as a coach. “As a coach, I do not think you ever have regrets. Could we have made certain adjustments in personnel, coverages, assignments, etc. in certain situa-
tions? Those are the things you learn and get better from whether you are a coach, a player, a student, whatever your role in life you are presented with opportunities to learn and improve,” Deaton said.
