11 turn out for SJB girls basketball
There are 11 players turned out this season for a very young St. John Bosco girls basketball.
They lead by their lone senior, Savannah Perrin. There are 2 juniors on the squad, Miah Mager and Catherine Seubert.
There are 4 sophomores: Madeline Wassmuth, Cece Remacle, Catherine Beckman and Brianne Nuxoll.
Rounding out the squad are 4 freshmen. They are Bella Creta, Teagen Dieseldorff, Zoey Alm and Tess Goeckner.
Remacle probably won’t see playing time until December due to a knee injury suffered at the District volleyball tournament.
The team also has a new head coach this year as Gene Weckman takes over that spot. Susan Wassmuth returns as an assistant coach and Julia Wassmuth, who graduated this past spring from SJB, has also joined the team as an assistant coach.
