Kiley Marie shares net-cutting after Huskies win title

Monongah pair in Huskies’ future?

North Marion girls basketball team won its fourth state title Saturday by defeating Wyoming East, 72-62.

Taylor Buonamici’s 33 points and 12 rebounds led the way.

If the Huskies pursue a fifth state crown next season, Monongah's Kiley Marie Haney and Breanna Shelosky might play roles.

Kiley – daughter of Kiley Paul and Brandie Westfall Haney, granddaughter of Monongah Elementary teacher Marcia Michalski Westfall and Dave Westfall, both Class of 1974, and great-granddaughter of Ramona Fullen Michalski, Class of 1949, and the late Frank Michalski, Class of 1948, who played football for Monongah High -- was a solid sophomore on the junior varsity team and got to dress for the championship games, which gave her a taste of the atmosphere at the top ... and a piece of the net for a souvenir.

Breanna – granddaughter of Tom Shelosky -- is a freshman who played junior varsity ball for the Huskies.

Marcia and Dave, who live in Kilard, are the parents of Brandy Haney, Amy Raines and Dave Westfall. Sometimes there are 15 members of their family watching North Marion sports contests.

Kiley Haney was a star in the Marion County middle school track meets, too.

Ramona and Frank have 23 great-grandchildren and 12 grandchildren.

Caden Michalski, son of Michael Frank Michalski, grandson of Jay Michalski and great-grandson of Ramona and Frank Michalski, competed in the junior state wrestling tournament two years ago.
 
Tom Shelosky is a son of Julia Lazorick Shelosky and Stanley “Strob” Shelosky, the late superb golfer at Green Hills who built up his body by laying bricks and cinder blocks for home foundations.
Tom Shelosky and wife Phyllis live in Monongah.
