The Mt. Vernon’s Lady Marauders Basketball Team open gyms began in August, which were usually twice a week. Tryouts were held from October 21st through October 23rd. Many players returned, as well as freshmen who have now joined the team.
Addison Bucksot and Reagan Britt are returning for their senior year with the Marauders. Junior Marissa Miner is also returning, as well as Christina Walker. Sophomore Gabby Thomas is back at it for another great season. Incoming Varsity freshmen include Alaya Baxter, Delani Williams, Zoey Wood, and Katherine Simmons.
After two weeks of intense practice, the Marauders had their first game on November 5 against the Whiteland Warriors. The varsity team won 41-26 and JV lost 24-20. Upcoming games include: December 5th vs. Connersville at home, December 7th vs. Pendleton at Pendleton, December 10th vs. Anderson at home, and December 14th vs. Yorktown at Yorktown.
