Highlands senior Jesse Daley has verbally committed to play
basketball at nearby Thomas More College next year.
Daley stands at 5-foot-10-inches and is a two-year starter. She
averaged 10 points and 5.61 rebounds for the Ladybirds last year. Daley also
hit 66.3 percent from the free-throw line and 45.3 percent from the field as a
junior last year.
Daley becomes the second player from this year’s team to
verbally commit to the next level. Teammate and fellow ‘Twin Tower’ Leah
Schaefer verbally committed to Xavier University in the spring.
The Ladybirds finished 17-16 last year. They lost to Newport
Central Catholic in the 36th District championship before losing 13-8 to Notre
Dame in the 9th Region quarterfinals.
Jeff Hans is entering his second season coaching the Saints.
They finished 25-5 last year and 17-1 in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference.
The Saints also won their seventh straight PAC regular-season title, sixth
consecutive PAC Championship Tournament title and made a sixth consecutive
appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament. They lost in the second round,
87-50 to 16th-ranked Illinois Wesleyan.
Daley also plays goalkeeper for the Highlands Ladybirds soccer
team and serves as a cheerleader at football games.
