PENNRIDGE BOYS’ WATER POLO PREVIEW
Head coach: Ryan Griffiths (2nd season)
Assistant coach: Jerry Knouse (5th season)
Last year’s record: 2-6 SOL, 13-16 overall, four place SOL, eighth in state (advanced to State Championship Tournament for the first time in program history).
Notable losses: Morgan Allison, Julia Nadovich (both playing water polo at the NCAA level), Chelsea Weiss, Victoria Redmond, Michelle Blance
Key returners: Maggie Walker (12), Jackie Cios (12) (Both captains), Kayla Muerrda (12), Jess Gross (12), Hnyla Sloan (11), Brittany Savercool (11)
Others to watch: Madison Trauger (10), Kasey Walker (11), Sam Thomson (11), Kacie Cios (10), Claire Beno (9)
Strengths: This year’s squad has a large core of players who have worked together in the offseason, pursuing camps and training opportunities. As they have come together, their skill set has vastly improved.
Question marks: With the loss of an entire starting lineup from 2012, can this year’s squad make it back to the state championship tournament and continue the growth of the Pennridge High School Water Polo Program?
