For Melcher-Dallas’ girls’ basketball team, it will be primarily underclassmen that will fill playing time in 2021-22.

With all five starters graduating for Melcher-Dallas, freshmen Brooklyn Metz and Paetyn Anderson will battle for starting spots. Also looking to start next season will be sophomores Kasyn Reed and BrieAnna Remster. The biggest question mark surrounding Melcher-Dallas next season though will be the health of Hailey Hoch, who missed the second half of the season with a torn ACL.

The four underclassmen combined to score a total of 83 points in 2020-21, 17 less than what Hoch had in ten games played.
