Seneca Bobcats
Coach (season): Betsy Walker (5th season)
2011 overall record: 2-16
2011 region record (place): 2-14 (eighth)
2011 playoff results: Did not qualify for the District 10 Class AA playoffs.
Top players lost: Sydney Boyles, Shaylyn Walberg
Top returning players: Samantha Black, Kristy Izbicki, Katie Teed, Alexa Snarski, Cassi Walberg
Assistant coach: Lauren Smith
Outlook: Seneca went through some growing pains last fall with two wins but the Bobcats bring back an experienced group. Seneca will be without graduates Sydney Boyles and Shaylyn Walberg this season but everyone else returns. Seniors Samantha Black and Kristy Izbicki are back as hitters along with juniors Katie Teed and Cassi Walberg. Alexa Snarski, a junior, is back at setter for the Bobcats. Seneca could also receive big contributions from junior Julie Young, who could play nearly every position on the floor. The Bobcats will have experience this season but winning matches won’t be easy in Region 5. Having the confidence to compete with Erie County’s best will be important this fall.

2010 playoff results: Did not qualify for the District 10 playoffs.

Outlook: Seneca will be starting over this fall after winning one game last year. The Bobcats lost several standout seniors to graduation, including Brittney Ferguson, Jacqueline Husted, Rebecca Johnston, Katy Keller, Christie Wnukowski and Sarah Ericson. The Bobcats will look to rebuild and gain some experience as the year goes on. Seneca will have senior Sydney Boyles back as well as sophomore Katie Teed. The two saw plenty of playing time last year and will be valuable leaders this fall.
