melcher-dallas-7

Losing five seniors that were in the top six in scoring last year means the Melcher-Dallas Girls Basketball Squad will be in rebuilding mode this year. The only returning senior was going to be Haley Hoch, but a lingering knee injury will sideline her for the entire season, so Coach Kelsey Goff will have several new faces on the court when the Saints travel to Wayne to open up the season. Goff tells KNIA Sports they likely will not be a high scoring team, so defense will be a key to success.

Goff: “I know we’re just going to have to play good defense, and shooting will be an issue, we’re not stellar shooters so we’ll have to play good defense because we won’t be a high scoring team likely.”

Goff will lean on her juniors and several freshmen and sophomores to carry the load this season. Tip off from Corydon is scheduled for 6:00.
