The Bravettes were a successful team with the Vaudt duo on the court, and we would love to see that happen for the Bulldogs as Ashlea joins older sister Chelsea once again! Although Ashlea was sidelined at the beginning of her senior basketball season with an ACL injury, I believe she will provide us with some strong years on the right side. I am very happy to have Ashlea join the Bulldog family!
