Bluestem’s Tinley Lovesee – Athlete Spotlight – Presented by Lovesee’s Pizza

By Blake Chadwick

After a 12-10 finish, the Bluestem Lions will be looking forward to a lot better season this year.

The Lions bring back senior Tinley Lovesee, who will be looking to build off of her junior year where she averaged 15 points per game and eight rebounds while being named to the all-league, second team and all-league academic team.

The senior has dealt with a few injuries in her career, so a healthy last season is on her mind as well as winning.

“My personal goals for this basketball season are hitting my 1000 points and being injury free,” Lovesee said. “For the team goal I hope we work as a team well because it is a whole different team from last year.”

Lovesee, is the youngest of three with both of her sisters Torrance and Taytum playing volleyball at UTEP and Fort Hays State, respectively.

“Being in an athletic family is a lot of fun,” Lovesee said. “Anytime we do some sort of physical activity, or games it gets very competitive, so I do not feel pressure because we are all supportive of each other, although we are all athletic, we all have different strengths.”
