KRIEG CRANKS IT UP A NOTCH

CORTLAND OH- Anthony Hartwig of YSN recently featured junior Raegan Krieg from the Maplewood girls basketball team, exploring her journey and insights on the successful 20-win season of the Maplewood Rockets. As one of the few upperclassmen on a young roster, Krieg relishes the opportunity to lead and mentor younger teammates. Reflecting on the team’s staggering improvement from a 12-win season to 20 wins, she attributes this success to the hard work over the summer months, where the starting five collectively put up over 10,000 shots. This dedication off the court has translated into substantial game-time success, fostering a robust team dynamic.

Krieg, a seasoned player since fourth grade, values the influential role she now embodies, having once looked up to older athletes. She finds pride and responsibility in guiding underclassmen, ensuring they have strong role models as she once did. Family plays a pivotal role in Krieg’s life, providing unwavering support from the sidelines. Sharing the court with her twin sister, Lauren, has been a unique journey filled with mutual encouragement and growth since their early years in junior high.

Beyond basketball, Krieg has her sights set on college, aiming to continue her softball career while aspiring to become an athletic trainer or sports psychology professional. Amidst the stressful recruitment process, she seeks collegiate programs that prioritize positive team culture and academic support. In an inspiring conclusion, Krieg extended heartfelt thanks to her family, teammates, coaches, and alumni, acknowledging their crucial roles in her athletic and personal development. As the season progresses, both Krieg and the Maplewood Rockets anticipate achieving new heights, with her leadership shining both on and off the court.
