Girls basketball preview: Waynesville
This is another in a series of capsules previewing area high school basketball for the 2009-10 season:
WAYNESVILLE
Coach: Tim Gabbard, 30 seasons (412-252)
2008-09 record: 19-4 (12-0 Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division)
Returning starters
Jaessica Dhanke, Sr., Post, 5-10
Amber Bell, Jr., Point guard, 5-5
Lauren Bunn, Jr., Wing, 5-6
Notable
Defense again is a staple for the Spartans, who held opponents to a league-best 36.3 points during the regular season. But shooting woes caught up to Waynesville in the postseason. Five key seniors graduated and took 33 points per game and 14 rebounds per game with them. Dhanke (4.5 points, 4.0 rebounds) is the power in the paint and Bunn (7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.6 steals, 2.0 assists) and Bell (8 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 3.3 steals) will be counted on more with their versatile games. Gabbard wants to see steady improvement as the young roster gains varsity experience. Also worth noting: The JV team went 18-2 last season.
