Ragan Pfeifer of Augusta has a lot to look forward to this season, including who she gets to take the court with one last time.
“My sister didn’t play with me last year, but for our senior year she decided to play so I’m really excited to play with her again,” Pfeifer said. “I am also excited to be a senior this year and the opportunity to lead. Every year I’ve played, the seniors have always been super positive and encouraging. I hope to be like that for underclassmen.”
While her other sports keep her busy, Pfeifer still found time to perfect her skill over the offseason.
“I’m pretty confident in my defense so I’ve mainly just been putting up more shots on the weekends to hopefully improve on that,” Pfeifer said. “I’ve been really busy with cross country and tennis so that’s the only time I can work on it.”
Pfeifer is hoping she gets to feel the same postseason energy this year that the Orioles felt last season.
“My most memorable moment last season was getting to host our playoff game,” Pfeifer said. “We don’t usually have very big crowds so it was nice to see the student section and the stands packed. The gym was a lot louder than usual and the energy was high, so that was really fun.”
While her athletic journey comes to an end, Pfeifer will take her academic talents to Manhattan later on.
“In the future, I plan to attend Kansas State University,” Pfeifer said. “I have chosen to not play a sport in college and just focus on my career.”
