Bailey Devall and Seal made the all-tournament team.
This year’s team had six seniors in Seal, Bridget Devall, Anna Claire Crowe, Hope Crowe, Bailey Crain and Emily Cothern.
“These seniors have been part of the program for quite a while and have kept the tradition going. They’ll be sadly missed,” Bowling Green School coach Barry Seal said.
This was also the final game for coach Seal, who is stepping down as the Lady Buccaneers coach.
This was Seal’s second stint at Bowling Green.
Seal coached for four years in the 1990s from 1994-1998. He was the head coach of the boys all four years and the girls for the last two years. His current stint began in 2011.
“I would like to thank Bowling Green for the opportunity they gave me at a young age to get into coaching,” Seal said. “This has been a remarkable experience for me to help coach kids and see them develop into young women and men. The support of Bowling Green Buccaneer basketball is remarkable to any place I have ever been a part of, but there has come a time in my life where I need to be Dad and enjoy my kids and get the opportunity to watch them play one year of basketball together.”
Seal’s daughters, K.K. and McKinley, will play together at William Carey University next season. McKinley will be a senior and K.K. will be a freshman.
Bowling Green principal Phill Junkins said the school is in the process of interviewing candidates at this point and said that Seal will be a tough guy to follow.
