Upper Arlington Season Preview
UPPER ARLINGTON
Coach: John Wanke, first season
Top players: Quinn Buttermore, Alyssa Gest, Vivian Lawless, Ceylone Reighard-Brooks and Evie Sanford
Key losses: Clara Gallapoo and Annie Hargraves
Last season: 3-14 overall
2020-21 OCC-Central standings: Dublin Coffman (10-0), Hilliard Bradley (6-3), Olentangy Liberty (5-3), Hilliard Davidson (3-6), Olentangy Orange (2-8), Upper Arlington (1-8)
2021 postseason: Lost to Pickerington Central 65-35 in second round of Division I district tournament
Outlook: Gest, a 5-6 senior guard and three-year starter who averaged 8.3 points last season, returns to help lead a roster that features six seniors and four juniors but largely is new to the varsity level. Reighard-Brooks, a 5-9 junior guard, added 4.3 points per game and a team-leading nine blocks as a sophomore.
Lawless (5-5, guard) and Leach (6-0, forward), are the other expected senior starters under Wanke, a former Kettering Alter and Miami University player who coached for several seasons throughout UA’s boys program. Buttermore, a 5-2 sophomore, is starting point guard after seeing spot varsity time as a freshman.
Wanke touted Lawless as perhaps the team’s most versatile player who could see time at any of the five positions. A deep bench includes 6-0 senior forward Sanford and 5-8 freshman guard Tatum Thrush.
Quotable: “We have a lot of seniors, but we’re a young team in many ways and inexperienced in terms of big-game moments. I want to make sure we’re approaching things the right way, with a level of consistency and having a great attention and focus to detail.” — Wanke

Upper Arlington Roundup: Golden Bears girls basketball coach sees foundation for future success
Coach Abby Dorsainvil saw plenty on which to build from her first season – one that featured two COVID-19 quarantines. “There are still plenty of things that the team should be proud of,” Dorsainvil said. “They picked up on a new offensive system, had different expectations on defense and a lot of players had new challenges and expectations set for them. I saw growth from each player individually, and our team worked better together every day.
