Conway Springs finished last season with a 15-8 record, led by junior Macie Hartman, who made an impressive return after tearing her ACL as a freshman.
“Macie is a hard-working and committed student and athlete for Conway Springs High School,” head coach Andrew Gower said. “She is a high-character person who is very active and involved at CSHS in multiple sports and various student activities and clubs. In the few years I have known her, Macie has displayed an incredible amount of toughness and a competitive spirit that stacks up against the best in the state. I am excited to have the chance to coach her this upcoming basketball season, and I am expecting big results out of her this season.”
Hartman is a part of a good basketball family as her mom was a basketball player at Newman University, and her dad was her basketball coach until she got into middle school. Because of her involvement and love for the game, Hartman has started to see the work pay off, and last year was named to the all-league second-team after averaging close to 10 points a game.
As a junior, Macie Hartman has taken on increasing responsibility as a leader. This season, she’ll have the special opportunity to play alongside her younger sister and mentor her on the court.
“This year as a leader, I am going to work hard and push my team as well as myself to get better each day,” Hartman said. “As a leader, I am also going to strive to be a positive and encouraging teammate and a role model for my teammates.”
