2024-25 Season Preview

The Lady Royals basketball team comes off of a 13-win season and an undefeated record in Circle City Conference play. The 5-0 conference record delivered the program its fifth straight conference title and stretched its winning streak in conference play to 25 straight and 28 wins out of the last 30 games. The Royals graduated six seniors from last season, including Taylor Turk, who is continuing her basketball career at Franklin College.

Senior Sara Rosko returns for her final season and has the capability to make a name for herself across the state. Sara averaged 8.6 points last year and was a sharpshooter from the three point line. Kalise Gutierrez, another senior, will be called on for her aggressive defense and shooting skill. Junior Brennah Cerny, who is a two-year varsity starter, looks to continue to be a lockdown defender and sharp shooter. Two other juniors include Catie Rosko, who will run the point, and Reagan Turk, who will be relied upon to be the glue of the team and play four of five spots on the court each night. Look for junior Lydia Stahley and sophomores Ella Stone and Caroline Schoettle to have big impacts on defense and rebounding this year, as well as expanded offensive roles. Highly ranked sophomore Elliot Leffler looks to bring her athleticism and sharp shooting skills back for year two. She led the team in scoring last season. Sophomore Sloane Pierle will be looked upon to provide defense and ball handling, and she’ll be another capable shooter for the Lady Royals.

Lola Morelli, Maric Kramer and Carly Feldman are all freshmen who will be asked to make a contribution on the varsity level this season.

Perennial powers Zionsville, Center Grove, Heritage Christian, Columbus North, Bishop Chatard, Gibson Southern and Franklin await the Lady Royals this season. New to the schedule this year will be 3A Danville and Washington as well as 4A Richmond and Lafayette Harrison. The Lady Royals will play in the Triton Central Pink Out game on January 24, 2025 and will continue to support Cancer Awareness alongside the Franklin Central Lady Flashes. The JV team returns key players, as well as some talented new faces, and they look to have another successful season after finishing 19-1 last season.
