Highlighting…SOL Girls’ Basketball Players
This recognition is sponsored by Millennium Administrators. Athletes are chosen based on nomination of coaches.
National Conference Millennium Administrators Highlighted Players
Olivia Boyle, Senior, Council Rock North High School
Note from the coach:
“The second two thirds of the year Liv has really exploded. Right now she’s averaging around 9.5 points, but since the Christmas Tournament, she’s probably been averaging 12-13 points a game. Her three-point shooting just extends defenses, and she is our defensive stopper. I always put her on the best player on the other team. When I say she can play forward or guard, she could cover every best player on the other team unless she’s 6-4, so that’s been a bonus for us this year. We kind of always saw it in Liv, and with her, it’s more of a confidence thing. This year she’s played with a lot more confidence and a lot more freedom, and the second two thirds of the year she’s just been unbelievable.”
About Olivia:

Part of the game I enjoy most: The team chemistry of my team and how much we laugh together.
My role model is: My dad because of his ability to overcome challenges and get stronger from them.
Music that gets me pumped before games: Rap music
Favorite food: Sushi
Favorite TV show: America’s Got Talent & The Voice
Four people I’d invite to a dinner party: Michael B. Jordan, Blake Lively, Cory Clement, Post Malone
Sydney Blum, Senior, Council Rock North High School
Note from the coach:
“I’ve been coaching basketball for 28 years, and Sydney has probably made the biggest jump improvement-wise from her freshman to her senior year,” coach Lou Palkovics said. “That’s what I like most about Sydney. She has worked so hard at her game to make this huge jump, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer kid. She epitomizes – if you work hard, you might just be a reserve on the jayvee team when you’re a freshman and sophomore and you’re looking at some of the other kids in your class that are already starting on varsity, she didn’t let it get her down. It just made her work harder. She’s a huge part of our success the last two years. She’s been our most consistent three-point shooter, and she has size – she’s almost six foot.”
About Sydney:
Best memory playing basketball: Scoring the game-winning three against Upper Dublin (2018 State Champs) last year in the second round of districts.
Part of the game I enjoy the most: Playoffs because every game is close and extremely important.
My role model is: My AAU coach Adam Sherman for always believing in me and teaching me both basketball and life skills over the years.
Music that gets me pumped before games: Music by Travis Scott and Drake
Favorite food: Crab Legs
Favorite TV show: The Office
Four people I’d invite to a dinner party: Shawn Mendes, Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Simmons, and Billie Eilish
Camryn Polinsky, Senior, Council Rock North High School
Note from the coach:
“Cam can control a game without scoring because she sees the floor as good as any point guard that I’ve had,” coach Lou Palkovics said. “It’s nice not always having to set up an offense because she is constantly looking 40 or 50 feet ahead of her, so that’s really helped our offense. She’s probably one of the better rebounding guards in the league. She has a nose for the ball. She’s a pure point guard. Last year when we had Becca Margolis, she basically played a lot of the two. When I met with her before the season, it was like, ‘A lot of the ball handling and running the team is going to fall on you now.’ She’s really been up to the challenge, and it gives me a lot of sanity as a coach knowing she’s out there. She’s had maybe two games where she’s been in foul trouble, and it’s really noticeable, the drop-off that we have.”
About Camryn:
Best memory playing basketball: My best memory playing basketball would have to be winning the CYO Pennsylvania state championship when I was in eighth grade.
Part of the game I enjoy most: The fun bus rides with the team on our way to games, and getting everyone involved and scoring when I am playing.
My roles model is: My mom because of how much of an optimistic person she is no matter what and how much support she gives me.
Music that gets me pumped before games: Any rap, such as music by Travis Scott and ASAP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar
Favorite food: Has to be crabs, especially from Chickie and Pete’s
Favorite TV shows: I enjoy watching The Office, America’s Got Talent, and Grey’s Anatomy.
Four people I’d invite to a dinner party: Travis Scott, Bill Rabberman (one of our assistant coaches for North), Luka Doncic, Ben Simmons.
Continental Conference Millennium Administrators Highlighted Player
Fatima Cervera, Senior, Central Bucks South High School
Note from the coach:
“Fatima will have been a part of our program for only two years, but she has made a huge impact,” coach Beth Mattern said. “Fatima has a great work ethic, is a supporter of everyone she comes in contact with, and has made friendships that will last a lifetime. I love watching Fatima play basketball because I think she improves every time she steps on the court. I can’t imagine this team without Fatima, and I feel lucky to have gotten the opportunity to coach her.”
About Fatima:
Best memory playing basketball: The experience of going to Philadelphia to help a family enjoy their holidays.
Part of the game I enjoy most: Celebrating a win after a very tough game.
My role model is: My mom because she has taught me how to never give up and always work hard for what you want to accomplish.
Music that gets me pumped before games: Any song from the movie High School Musical
Favorite food: Any kind of pizza
Favorite TV show: Grey’s Anatomy
Four people I’d invite to a dinner party: Zac Efron, Liam Hemsworth, Shailene Woodley, Ed Sheeran
