ROXANA — As the only senior on Gillespie’s girls basketball roster in the 2025-26 season, Sadie Sholtis emerged as a central figure for the team, providing leadership during a year that ended with a 17-13 record.
Sholtis, a 5-foot-9 multi-sport athlete who also participates in softball and volleyball, was a middle hitter in volleyball. Gillespie coach Nikki Brawner said Sholtis’s approach set a standard for the rest of the squad.
