Young Skippers have bright future

Fairport Harding returns two starters from last year’s squad that finished with just two wins.

The Skippers enter the 2018-2019 season with just two seniors but the lack of experience isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“Our strength is that our girls are very coachable and eager to improve themselves and the team,” said 11th-year head coach Ed Reed. “We also have a quick team that will cause our defense and fast breaks to be forces to be reckoned with. We are a very young team which can be a concern, but we plan to use it to our advantage in the years to come.”

Senior Ryan Hagedorn, a 5-foot-5 guard, is one of the returning starters while 5-foot-4 guard Kailyn Clark is the other.

Junior Paige Hagedorn, a 5-foot-4 guard, and freshmen Emily Tully, a 5-foot-7 forward, and Olivia Eldridge, a 5-foot-8 forward, round out the projected starting lineup.

Juniors Maria Steringer (5-foot-4) and Rylie Erb (5-5) and sophomores Ashley Pomplas (5-5) and Faith Tully (5-6) will provide depth for the Skippers.
