2025 Southwestern Conference Preview

After the end of an amazing era under Krystine Frisch, the Avon Lake Shoregals will be under the leadership of Kevin Fitch, who returns to the team that he coached nearly a decade ago. The Shoregals were extremely successful under Fitch and he hopes he can both pick up where he left off and where Coach Frisch left off in 2024. Avon Lake has won seven of the last ten conference championships and will have to work hard to win in 2025. The Southwestern Conference appears to be a three team race this upcoming season, as the Shoregals will be challenged by the Avon Eagles and Olmsted Falls Bulldogs. Avon Lake sophomore Lily Dorsey had a huge freshman season and will be in the top spot in 2025. Seniors Reese Thomas and Emma Fitch will lead the Eagles while juniors Addison Mullen and Ashley Veverka will join senior Mya Hovan for the Bulldogs. All three schools have a legitimate chance to win the SWC this season. The next tier of schools include Berea-Midpark, Amherst, Midview, and North Ridgeville. The Rangers will look to improve under new head coach Casey Bernhardt.
