PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Coach: Dan Dougherty (14th Season)

Assistant coaches: TJ DeLucia, Mike Tornambe, Kelly Sabolsky, Samantha Matthews

Last year’s record:

  • Overall: 15-11, (4-4 in Liberty Division, third place)
  • 16th Seed in District 1 Tournament, knocked out by CR South in Playbacks

Notable losses:

  • Taylor Williams (graduation)
  • AJ Avery and Joslyn Perez (injuries)

Key returners:

Kenna Winland (senior guard), Grace Harvey (soph. guard), Eliza Meersman (junior forward), Olivia Patete (junior forward), Brooke Peduzzi (junior center)

Others to watch:

Mia Baron (senior guard), Maddie McGuckien (senior center), Olivia Brodzinski (soph. forward), Brooke Walcoff (soph. guard), Riley Spigelmyer (9th guard), Luca Juliano (9th guard), Alana Meshey (9th forward), Gigi Juliano (soph center)

Strengths/Question Marks: 

  • Strengths: Starting 5 all have lots of varsity playing experience, they have all been in the program for years. Several of the players are multi-sport athletes that bring a lot of athleticism to the gym each day.
  • Question Marks: While we have lots of varsity experience, players are playing new positions and being asked to do a lot more than what was asked of them in the past.

Outlook: “There is no doubt the loss of AJ Avery and Joslyn Perez to injury will be a challenge this year. They are both multi-year captains and rocks of our program. That being said, we still have several very talented players that will have the opportunity to make their mark on the program. Our goals for the year remain the same as every year before…compete for the Liberty Division, qualify for District 1 playoffs, earn a home playoff game, and qualify for states.”
