Their Non- Conference games include: Laurel, Akron SVSM, Federal Hocking, [program_tooltip program_id='712419' first='Berlin' last='Hiland'], Tusky Valley, Carrollton, West Muskingum, Shenandoah, and West Holmes.

Keep your eyes on her, as she's ready for an increased role! When Ally creates more space to work around the rim, she's dangerous!

She's exciting to watch- a shooter that extends well beyond the 3-point line, with no hesitation to step up and take shots, especially when the game is on the line. She's a one man press-breaker!
