Students from Morrison High School took part in a “good luck” farewell for Emily Hoffman and Samantha Schaefer on Friday afternoon, March 7, 2025. These players earned a spot in the State Tournament for the Bi-County Bulldogs basketball team.
The first floor corridor and the stairs leading to the lobby were lined with well-wishers. Emily (left) and Samantha (right) were named on a banner held by Camryn Veltrop, left, and Makenzie Neas.
Before departing, Hoffman (left) and Schaefer stood with Daniel Seilhymer, who held a sign for athletes competing in basic basketball skills (dribbling, passing, and shooting). They include Marshall Armstrong, Katie Bidwell, Lucy Kurtz, and Dakota Stotler.
Kurtz and Stotler used a similar placard to encourage the other two participants.
Joey Bushman, Emily Hoffman, Austin Keifer, Kaleb Lewis, Jonathan Miller-Berogan, Nathaniel Portner, Samantha Schafer, Daniel Seilhymer, Iligah Williams, Jeremiah Yarbrough, and Samantha Zimmermann are among the Bi-County Bulldogs team athletes.
Coaches from Bi-County include Kristen Hoagland (2 years), Hannah Judge (1 year), and Mandi Roggy (8 years). Volunteers include Jess Hurley and Emily Roggy.
