Emerie Bohanon – Conway (501 Basketball Team 2024)

Emerie Bohanon gives the defending 6A champion Lady Cats a spark on both sides of the court. This season as a junior, Bohanon will step into a new role.

“Emerie brings a contagious energy on both ends of the floor,” said Conway Head Coach Ashley Hutchcraft. “Emerie is an elite shooter but has developed her game offensively to be a scoring threat in the paint as well. She is a great defender, and her strength and athleticism set her apart. Not only is Emerie’s energy contagious on the court, but her personality off the court is contagious as well. She has mastered working extremely hard and having fun at the same time. She has a genuine care for her teammates and coaches.

“I expect Emerie to be a leader. For two seasons, she has been led by some amazing players, but now it is Emerie’s time to lead her team.”

After finishing last season ranked in many national Top 25 polls, Bohanon is confident the Lady Cats can defend a state title.

“Winning a state championship with my childhood friends and sharing that moment with the people I love will always be a favorite memory,” Bohanon said. “The team’s goal is to win another state championship. To achieve this goal, we will have everyone all in, meaning we will give 100 percent energy and effort during practices and games.

“Stepping up and being more of a leader has been challenging, but I know what it takes to be a leader.”
