Leah Starcher ☆ – 12th
Taylor Goodspeed- 12th
Faith Varga- 12th
Delaney Smith- 11th
Lake Center is returning their top four players from 2021, where they finished 2nd in the Portage Trail Conference. Leah Starcher was able to qualify for the District Tournament and will look to build off that success to potentially return as an individual or take the team to Sable Creek this fall.
Southeast ☆
Team- Southeast Pirates
Coach- Cindy Fesemeyer
2021 Recap- 6th at District Tournament

Gracie Westover ☆ – 11th
Taylor Blazek- 10th
Skylar Werschey- 11th
Lexi Morris- 11th
Rebekah Lane- 12th
Taylor Tufts- 11th
Nina Yoder- 12th
Losing senior standout Alaina Goldstein to graduation will be a tough blow for Southeast but the Pirates have the athletes to step up to fill the void. Junior Gracie Westover should take over the number one spot and hopefully lead the Pirates back to Salem Hills and possibly further.
St. Thomas Aquinas
Team- St. Thomas Aquinas Knights
Coach- Terry Murphy
2021 Recap- 7th at Sectionals
Returning Players
JuleeAnn Doolittle- 11th
Ellie Wanchick- 11th
Grace Tabellion- 11th
St. Thomas Aquinas will have three juniors leading the team in 2022 looking to be as successful as last year’s squad. Finding a few more players to add to the roster will be key for the Knights as they compete in the Portage Trail Conference.
