W.W. KING GIRLS REBUILD PROGRESSING

Batesburg-Leesville, S.C. -The 2024-25 Girls basketball season at W.W. King Academy has been a season of foundation building for the Lady Knights program.

After not having a varsity program last year Coach Jessica Anderson was called upon to get the rebuild started. She started the season with six girls on the roster that included McKenzie Wannamaker (sr), Kenzie Morse (jr), Milana Beale (so), Zoey Livingston (so), Emily Manley (fr) and Grace Black (fr).

However, the Lady Knights played much of the season with only five players. Without a bench the Lady Knights struggled to a 1-8 season.

But the good news is that the future of the program looks good as the middle school team were region Co-Champions with Richard Winn Academy with a 12-1 record.

The middle school team was also coached by Anderson. This team roster included Alivia Anderson (8^th), Blythe Buzhardt (7^th), Lilly Claire Matthews (7^th), Aiden Amick (7^th), Rebecca Hinton (7^th), Emma Enlow (7^th), Emma Buzhardt (6^th), Sarah Pickens (6^th), Allie Grace Oxner (6^th), Emoree Shealy (6^th) and Lynnlee Watkins (6^th).

Coach Anderson hopes to keep this group of young ladies together as they progress through their high school years. She feels with playing time these girls will be a very competitive team.
