Lions continue to build experience
ELIZABETHTOWN | The Lions boys varsity basketball team will continue to grow their program with young players as they move to the southern division of the MVAC (Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference).
“This team is eager to improve upon last year’s performance,” said coach Colby Pulsifer. “We need to gain as much game experience as possible this season. As the coach, my expectation is for the boys to improve through their hard work during practice which will hopefully translate into success during the games.”
Members of the Lions roster include seniors Chris Jones, Tyler Monty and Jeremiah Johnson; juniors Lucas Spilling, Brayden Drew, Bryce Gay and Cameron Drake; and sophomores Brandon Tromblee, Ryley Mousseau and Ethan Graham.

Lady Lions return to the court
ELIZABETHTOWN | The Lady Lions varsity basketball team returns to the court after playing last season as a JV team, and will join the Southern Division of the MVAC.
“We would either have an old JV team or a young varsity team and we chose varsity,” said second year coach Terry Egglefield. “These girls, having been with me for a year, know my expectations and know how hard they need to work to successfully compete at the varsity level. Now that I know their ins-and-outs and they know mine, we can work together to be stronger and more competitive than last year. I also have a few new players this year who will prove to be great assets to my original group.”
Egglefield sees the year as a rebuilding season for the program, where she hopes the team can have fun and win games in the process.
“The goals are to work hard, get fit, become strong and stay positive,” she said.
The Lady Lions roster includes senior Hailey Cave; juniors Bree Hunsdon and Abigail Buck; sophomores Analise Burdo, Brianna Cornwright and Sarah Chandler; and freshmen Abigail Monty, Sadie Thompson and Madalyn Fuller.
