Avery Lay, a three-year varsity player for the Bulldogs and was the second leading scorer, giving Chelsea one of the top one-two scoring punches in the state. Lay set the school record with seven three-pointers in a game and scored 28 points against Parma Western-First Team

Honorable mention went to Ella Day and Braiden Scheffler.

Ella Day was a big threat for the Bulldogs from beyond the arch this season. Her biggest game came in the Bulldogs season ending loss to Haskett where Day hit four three-pointers and finished with 14 points- Honorable Mention

Braiden Scheffler became a bigger part of the Bulldogs puzzle this season, playing multiple positions, whether in the paint or bringing the ball up-court for Chelsea.
