08 Feb 2023 Emma Dold – Sacred Heart (501 Basketball Team 2023)

After making it to the 1A quarterfinals both of the last two seasons, Emma Dold has set high goals for her senior year at Sacred Heart. 

“Some personal goals I have this season are to score 400 points or more, to average a double-double, to be a good leader and role model for my team and to contribute to my team making it further than the elite eight of state,” Dold said. 

Dold, a 5-foot-10 center, gives Sacred Heart a threat on both ends of the court.

“She is physical inside,” said Sacred Heart Head Coach Kyle Duvall. “She is a tough player who can play with her back to the basket. She is a really good rebounder and post defender.”

Duvall also highlighted Dold’s leadership skills. “As team captain, Emma has high goals and expectations for herself and our team. She strives for greatness in the classroom and on the court. She gives all-out effort every day in practice and games and encourages her teammates to be the best they can be.”

Dold is active in Key and Beta Club, Student Council and Catholic Youth Ministry and volunteers in the community through trash pickup days, fishing derbies and setting up and taking down flags for veterans. She also volunteers at Kids First. 

“I expect Emma to have a great senior year,” Duvall said. “If we need a big basket or stop, we are going to count on Emma. I am so proud of her.”
