On Friday, afternoon on March 7, 2025, Morrison High School students participated in a “good luck” sendoff for Emily Hoffman and Samantha Schaefer. These members of the Bi-County Bulldogs Basketball team qualified to play in the State Tournament.
Well-wishers assembled along the first floor hall and down steps to the lobby. Camryn Veltrop, left, and Makenzie Neas held a banner naming Emily (left) and Samantha.
Before the departure, Hoffman (left) and Schaefer stood with Daniel Seilhymer, who held a sign for athletes who would compete in basic Basketball Skills (Dribbling, Passing, and Shooting.) They include Marshall Armstrong, Katie Bidwell, Lucy Kurtz, and Dakota Stotler.
Kurtz and Stotler had a similar sign, to encourage the other two participants.
Bi-County Bulldogs Team Athletes include: Joey Bushman, Emily Hoffman, Austin Keifer, Kaleb Lewis, Jonathan Miller-Berogan, Nathaniel Portner, Samantha Schafer, Daniel Seilhymer, Iligah Williams, Jeremiah Yarbrough, and Samantha Zimmermann.
Coaches are Bi-County Employees: Kristen Hoagland (2 years); Hannah Judge (1 year); Mandi Roggy (8 years.) Volunteers include Jess Hurley and Emily Roggy.
