As the upcoming season draws closer, Nyah Sewell of Buhler has been putting in the work. Between shooting, conditioning, and leadership, Sewell is determined to make this year one to remember.
“I’ve been getting in the gym a few times a week to improve my outside shooting, ball handling, and overall conditioning so I can be in the best shape possible for the upcoming season,” Sewell said.
Sewell enters the season with a set of individual and team goals. She’s eager to be high both statistically and as a leader on the court.
“Individually, my goals this year are to improve my outside shooting, average at least four assists per game, keep turnovers under two per game, and earn first team all-league honors,” Sewell said. “From a team standpoint, I want to focus on being a leader and helping bring everyone together so we can achieve our common goal—making it back to state. One area we’ll need to emphasize is rebounding. We may lack size, but with effort and teamwork, I believe we can make up for it.”
While the wins are all worth it, Sewell is most looking forward to seeing how the bond of the team will take over on the court.
“I’m most excited to play with my friends this season,” she said. “Our chemistry really elevates how we play together, and although it will be bittersweet, I’m excited to see how far we can go.”
A few matchups are circled on the schedule, and Sewell is looking to walk away with some big victories.
“I’m especially looking forward to playing McPherson and Hutch this year,” Sewell said. “They’re two of the toughest opponents on our schedule, and I know those matchups will be highly competitive.”
