2022-23 Preview: Underclassmen

*By underclassmen, I mean freshmen, sophomores and juniors, as I don't know how many seniors will return next year. 

Women's Basketball
Rising junior forward Mackenzie Johnson is sitting at 64 games, 349 defensive rebounds and 520 points. She needs six games to reach the 70 milestone, 80 points to reach the 600 milestone and 11 defensive rebounds to have the fifth-best total since 2011 across both teams (men's and women's) in that category (Steve Viterbo recorded 359 in his career) 

Rising junior guard Kalen Surles can reach a couple milestones this season. She needs seven appearances to reach 70 for her career and she needs just 44 points to reach the 400 milestone (she currently has 356) 

Women's Soccer
Rising junior midfielder Hannah Behner is third since 2011 with ten assists. Behner, rising junior defender Jhena Ellerbe and rising senior defender Britt Verstegen can all reach 40 career appearances this season.  

Volleyball
Rising senior middle hitter Jessica Beckner is already the first in Young Harris history with triple-digit points in both basketball (116) and volleyball (179), and she can set three more milestones this season. She currently has 39 appearances in volleyball and 32 in basketball for 71 total. She can be the first in school history with 40 appearances in volleyball, the first in school history with 80 appearances between basketball and volleyball and the first in school history with 300 points between the two sports (she currently has 295 points total). 

Rising sophomore setter Alex Boydstone is two shy of 400 career assists, as she's currently at 398 for her career.

Starting a 200 Club: Softball

Jackson Jones is a member of this club as he's appeared 204 times for the baseball team. In this blog post, though, I'm looking to add names to the list and I'm starting with the softball alumni.  Grace Botti appeared 222 times between 2016 and 2019  Murphy Davis appeared 214 times between 2015 and 2018 Sarah Magill appeared 205 times between 2013 and 2016  Chandler Stooksbury appeared 208 times between 2014 and 2017  Jill Torres appeared 244 times between 2017 and 2021 Haylie Shope , if pitcher and first base appearances are separate, had 183 appearances at first base and 34 in the circle for 217 total. We then add 47 appearances in basketball and she appeared 264 times overall between 2018 and 2021 (she's in the 200 club with the 47 basketball games played as she's at 230 without the pitching appearances).  So thus far, this is the 200 Club: Grace Botti Murphy Davis Jackson Jones Sarah Magill  Haylie Shope  Chandler Stooksbury Jill Torres

Women's Lacrosse: Career Goals Update

If the season is over (and if she's not returning for her grad year), senior attacker Ashlyn Fraley will finish up a 71-game Young Harris career with 136 goals, the fifth-most in Mountain Lion women's lacrosse history. Only Nicole Kernohan, Kendra Parenteau, Taylor Greenberg and Ella Hancock have scored more.   *It's worth noting, however, that Fraley is the only person in the top five in terms of goals to need less than 200 shots on goal to get her goals- she only need 199 shots on target, so she scored on an impressive 68% of her shots on frame.
