Longtime teammates, brand new rivals
BUTLER TWP — For 13 seasons, Butler seniors Makenna Maier and Aubree Tack have been girls basketball teammates.
“They’ve been teammates in Butler since fifth grade,” Golden Tornado girls basketball coach Mark Maier said. “They’ve also been teammates for five years in AAU ball with Slaam.”
That’s a team Maier coaches himself.
After this season, he won’t be coaching his daughter or Aubree anymore, nor will the two girls be teammates. Makenna is continuing her academic and basketball career at Saint Vincent College while Aubree will be doing the same at Chatham College. Both Division III schools are members of the Presidents’ Athletic Conference.
