Macie Hartman of Conway Springs was a first team all-league selection last season, but still has found ways to improve her game.
“This season I have been preparing by working on my outside shot as well as working on my defense,” Hartman said. “I feel like these are two areas that I really need to improve on.”
With hopes of achieving some new stats, Hartman also has a big team goal she hopes to accomplish.
“As a team the end goal is to make it to state,” Hartman said. “That’s what we are focusing on this basketball season. Personally, I’d like to work towards averaging a double-double.”
Conway Springs will have lots of competition in the Central Plains League this season, but Hartman is looking forward to some annual rivalries.
“Two games I’m looking forward to this year are Cheney and Garden Plain,” Hartman said. “Each year these games are always super competitive and they are our rivals as well.”
With plenty to be excited about, Hartman is most looking forward to sharing it with her teammates.
“I’m most excited about being able to play with these girls and my sister for one last year,” Hartman said. “Everyone is so hardworking and determined and I know it’s going to be a great season. This summer we put in a lot of work at open gyms and camp.”
