It was a historic day for SOL girls’ basketball Tuesday as three players – one from each conference – reached the 1,000-point milestone on the same night. Abington senior Lizzie O’Leary, North Penn senior Sam Carangi and Plymouth Whitemarsh junior Taylor O’Brien all ensured themselves a spot in their program’s history by reaching the elusive plateau.
Taylor was the first PW female to reach the milestone since Taylor Magnus in 2006. The junior sharpshooter needed 10 points, and in front of a large home crowd, she reached that mark early in the second quarter of PW’s win over Wissahickon when she scored on a drive to the basket.
“Taylor is just a PW kid through and through,” coach Daniel Dougherty said. “She’s grown up through the youth leagues in Whitemarsh.
“It was great to see other athletic teams there. Chris Manero had the boys’ baseball team there, the whole ninth grade girls’ basketball was there, some of the school board members, faculty and staff – just a huge outpouring. A lot of former players – Alynna Williams and her family were in the stands. (Wissahickon) coach Rodney Cline is a friend of the O’Brien family, so they were very classy and gracious when she scored her thousandth point as well. It’s a tremendous accomplishment. She’s a special kid.”
O’Leary, who needed seven points, scored her historic basket early in the second quarter of Abington’s win at Pennsbury. She is the 10th female in program history to reach the milestone, following in the footsteps of teammate Deja Rawls who reached that mark in 2015.
“Lizzie has worked extremely hard, and it’s paid off,” coach Dan Marsh said. “If you look at Lizzie over the three years she’s been here, she an athlete now. She can run rim to rim. She’s put in the work, and it’s paid off for her and for us.”
Carangi’s milestone bucket came on the second of two foul shots late in the fourth quarter of North Penn’s win over Central Bucks West. The senior point guard needed nine points entering Tuesday’s game.
“This is a great accomplishment for a player who came in to our program and was not truly a point guard, but that is where we needed her, and she has owned it,” coach Maggie deMarteleire said. “She has managed to score a thousand points along with running our offense and being very active defensively.”
“She is just a fundamentally sound basketball player with a high basketball IQ.”
American Conference
PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH 45, WISSAHICKON 25
Taylor O’Brien stole the spotlight on a night that saw the junior standout score 21 points, and in the second half, O’Brien – the focal point of the Trojans’ defense – showed she can do a whole lot more than just score points.
“It was a close game – it was a seven-point game,” said PW coach Dan Dougherty, whose team led 23-16 at halftime. “My assistant coach, TJ DeLucia , and I came up with an adjustment where we drew the double team over to the left hand side of the floor because everyone wants to jump to her left hand.
“Taylor was able to get four or five assists in the second half just by zipping cross-court passes to the opposite block to the kid they were running off the double team from.”
O’Brien finished with five assists, four rebounds, four steals and two blocks for the Colonials, who outscored the Trojans 22-9 in the second half.
“We played very hard,” Wissahickon coach Rodney Cline said. “We executed the game plan, but we just couldn’t knock down shots when we needed to.
“We really played hard defense. Taylor O’Brien was averaging 30-35 the last four or five games. We held her to 11 the first half and 10 the second half. We wanted to make everybody else beat us. Every shot she took, she had to earn. She got her thousandth point, and congratulations to her.
“We just couldn’t knock down the shots we needed to. We created turnovers, but we couldn’t capitalize on the hard work we put on the defensive side. We don’t have all the pieces yet. Give my girls a lot of credit.”
Also for the Colonials, Ali Diamond scored 11 points and also had five rebounds and three steals. Lauren Fortescue had seven rebounds, three steals and two assists to go with her four points. Lauren Coscia continued to be a force defensively, adding four blocks and four rebounds to go with four points.
Laurel Suchsland and Victoria Betterly combined their efforts due to foul trouble. Together they pulled down seven rebounds and contributed four points.
Gia Schweitzer gave the Colonials important minutes off the bench when they were saddled with foul trouble.
Plymouth Whitemarsh (13-0, 8-0 SOL) will be on the road at Springfield Township on Friday, and Wissahickon (8-6, 4-4) will host Upper Dublin.

CHELTENHAM 54, SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP 29
Mia Leonard had another superb outing for the Panthers, collecting her second triple-double in as many days. The senior center finished with 20 points, 15 rebounds and 10 blocked shots.
But the big story of the night was the loss of Molly Dugan to an injury midway through the first quarter. Springfield’s high-scoring senior did not return and finished with just one point. The Spartans, who trailed 15-7 after one quarter, found themselves on the short end of a 30-12 halftime score.
“Everyone felt terrible, and that certainly put a downer on them,” Cheltenham coach Brendan Nolan said of Dugan’s injury. “To their credit, they shook it off, and they played hard the rest of the night.
“(Grace) Barraclough stepped up for them, and they kept at it, but it certainly puts a downer on the night when something like that happens.”
Barraclough led the Spartans with 11 points while Siana Wynn and Rileigh Serroni both had six points.
For the Panthers, Caitlin Wallace scored 11 points and also had three rebounds and two assists.
“She had another big game, which is nice,” Nolan said. “She’s really stepping up and scoring.
“We’re getting a lot more balanced scoring. I remember last year looking at our box score and five kids would score. We’re not having big scoring, but it’s nice to see Kelia Holmes and Kai Williams coming off the bench and scoring five. Taylor Johnson, a freshman, had four points. It’s nice to see these kids stepping up and finding their way a little bit and where they can contribute.”
Cheltenham (9-7, 5-3 SOL) will be on the road at Upper Moreland on Friday, and Springfield (5-10, 3-6) will host Plymouth Whitemarsh on Friday.

Continental Conference
NORTH PENN 59, CENTRAL BUCKS WEST 40
They’ve been through some adversity this season, and if the Knights’ performance in Tuesday’s win is any indication, they’ve come through it a better team. The Knights limped through last week with both Jess Huber and Sam Carangi battling illnesses. Their postgame meeting after Sunday’s win over Episcopal Academy at the Maggie Lucas Classic at Philadelphia University featured more coughing than talking.
Any thoughts that they’d let a little thing like lingering coughs slow them down were put to rest in a first quarter that saw the Knights race to an 18-2 lead.
“Sam and I – I feel like we’re bonding through our sickness,” Huber said. “I know she’s always going to have my back, and I’m going to have her back. Everyone on the team is feeling that way. They’ve been so supportive. If we’re missing practice, they’ll check on us. They’re the best teammates. I couldn’t live without them.”
Huber proved to be indispensible to her teammates as well, torching the Bucks for 24 points – eight in the first quarter to ignite the Knights, who led 18-7 after one quarter.
“Their game plan was to stop Sam – we knew they’d be all over her,” Huber said. “I just wanted to step up for my team, help them get the win.”
The Bucks pulled to within seven by halftime (25-18). Senior Maggie Rakowsky led the way with seven points.
“We had a spell where we were making bad passes and bad decisions,” North Penn coach Maggie deMarteleire said. “Ever since we lost to CB South, the whole theme has been – make good decisions and make good passes.
“We did that until midway through the second quarter. We also kind of got away from what we were supposed to do on our transition defense. We came out in the second half, we were very composed, we played good defense. I thought we rebounded well. We made good backdoor cuts. Our passing was much better in the second half.”
Three minutes into the second half, the Bucks made it a 29-25 game after a Tori Abelson putback, and without Irisa Ye in their lineup after picking up her fourth foul less than three minutes into the half, the Knights appeared to be in trouble.
They weren’t.
Thirty seconds after the Bucks pulled to within four, Izzy Treon was whistled for her fourth foul, and less than a minute later, she was joined on the bench by Abelson, who picked up her fourth.
Bri Hewlett sank a pair at the foul line, and then Huber stepped to the fore. She misfired on a three-pointer, but Jess McKenzie came up with the rebound and kicked it back out to Huber, who hit nothing but net on a trey. Back-to-back three-point plays by Huber on drives put the Knights on top 40-25 with 1:17 remaining in the fourth .jpg)
quarter.
“The way Jess Huber played was unbelievable, and I thought Bri Hewlett did a really nice job on (Maddie) Burke,” deMarteleire said. “Jess McKenzie scored four straight points at the beginning of the game. Jenny Hulmes hit that three. Every kid hit big shots, and we played really solid defense. I was really, really pleased.”
The only question that remained was when Sam Carangi would reach the 1,000-point milestone. The senior point guard, who reached 999 with a drive early in the fourth quarter, buried the second of two foul shots with 1:41 remaining to bring an end to the suspense.
While Carangi was happy to have the historic milestone behind her, she was even happier to come away with a win.
“I remember the first time we played them it was the same thing – we got out to a really big lead, but they clawed their way back and ended up winning,” the senior captain said. “This time we didn’t want to have a rerun. We knew we had to stayed focused and composed.
“At the end of the first half, we started getting a little rattled on offense because they started picking up the intensity. Coach said in the locker room – we have to stay composed and we’ll be fine.”
Hewlett, who has been a consistent contributor on offense, scored 15 points and limited Burke to just one field goal and five points.
“We just played really good on defense, and that led us to offense,” Hewlett said. “I think everyone played really well tonight. We showed up as a team.
“This was a really important win – they beat us on our home court, and we really wanted to win.”
Maggie Rakowsky led the Bucks with 17 points while Abelson added seven, and Diane Nicholson had six.
“You just fundamentally can’t do the things we did tonight,” West coach Terry Rakowsky said. “A freshmen, three sophomores, a junior and a senior – we’re just young, so it’s going to happen.
“Just little things – they miss a shot, and we go tearing after the girl and foul her. It’s total composure and youth. The energy in the gym – the kids get excited, and they lose focus.”
North Penn (11-2, 5-2 SOL) will be on the road at William Tennent on Thursday, and Central Bucks West (11-3, 5-2) will host Central Bucks South Friday.

SOUDERTON 41, CENTRAL BUCKS EAST 28
The Indians – minus junior Kate Connolly (broken nose) – appeared to be at a decided disadvantage heading into Tuesday’s showdown at East. With Connolly in the lineup, the Indians needed overtime to edge the Patriots in their league opener.
In Tuesday’s rematch, the Indians turned in an inspired team effort, earning a win that puts them in a four-way tie for first place in the conference standings.
“The story of the night was people stepping up,” Souderton coach Lynn Carroll said. “Kate (Connolly) gets seven rebounds without even really trying and then she gets three or four or five more, and the thing we talked about before the game was – how are we going to make up for that and everything else that Kate brings?
“Obviously, we’re a lot smaller without Kate on the court. We had kids like Megan Bealer, Curron O’Donnell, Sami Faencki boxing out as hard as they could and going after rebounds as hard as they could. Three kids who probably don’t get mentioned enough just doing all of the little things and making up for some of what we were missing without Kate. And then (point guard) Tori (Dowd) playing like Tori always does, just working extremely hard on both ends of the court.
“They did a nice job on Megan Walbrandt. If you had told me – no Kate and Megan scores five, I would have thought, ‘How do we win?’ Alana (Cardona) stepped up big time. Offensively, she was really aggressive, and defensively, she was playing with a lot of intelligence and discipline. Erica Stephens came in and gave us a few minutes off the bench when Alana needed a break. It was really a total complete team effort. It is the most energy we have played with all year. I really feel like every loose ball – we wanted it.”
Bealer, a sophomore, gave the Indians a huge lift in the first quarter, burying a pair of three-pointers and scoring 10 of her game-high 13 points as the Indians raced to a 17-2 lead.
“She’s been playing really well for us, and it’s been kind of quiet,” Carroll said. “She was named to the all-tournament team at the Christmas tournament we were in, but I don’t know that she’s a name anyone outside of our program is really mentioning that much.
“She’s a good shooter, she attacks the basket well, and she’s a good defender. She really does it all. It took a couple of weeks for her confidence level to get where she wanted it to be playing varsity for the first time, but she played great.”
The Indians took a 23-6 lead into halftime with Cardona contributing eight of those points.
“We were really letting the shots come,” Carroll said. “We weren’t forcing anything. We were running sets for long period of times, waiting for a high percentage shot.
“Before the game, I asked Alana (Cardona) and Megan Bealer to step up offensively, that we needed more from them, and they both did from the start.”
The Indians outscored the Patriots 11-3 in the third quarter to go on top 34-9 before East closed it out with a 19-7 fourth quarter.
“We played extremely well defensively, and we executed well offensively,” Carroll said. “East, if you asked them – they would say they missed some shots they feel normally go in, so they were not having a good night shooting.
“Bridget (Birkhead) was in some foul trouble, and that hurt them, but I just thought for three quarters we played really, really well. They made us sweat a little bit in the fourth, but the kids stepped up, made some foul shots and got a couple of nice stops.”
Carroll went on to laud her team’s defensive effort.
“Megan (Walbrandt) did a great on Bridget (Birkhead), Tori (Dowd) did great on Bri Talbot, and between Megan Bealer and Sami Falencki, they played Bailey McManus really well, and Alana (Cardona) had great, great help defense in the lane and so did Erica (Stephens) when she came in,” Carroll said. “More importantly, we limited them to one shot a possession most of the time.”
Bealer (13 points, 8 rebounds) and Cardona (12 points, 6 rebounds) combined for 25 points and 14 rebounds. Both also had three assists. Dowd had seven rebounds, three steals and two assists.
Megan Browne and Grace Stewart led the Patriots with six points each. Birkhead, who is averaging over 13 points a game, was held to just four points.
Souderton (11-3, 5-2 SOL) will host Jenkintown in a non-league game on Friday, and Central Bucks East (7-6, 3-4) will host Lansdale Catholic in a non-league game Thursday.

ABINGTON 51, PENNSBURY 29
The night belonged to Lizzie O’Leary, who scored a basket that vaulted her to the 1,000-point plateau early in the second quarter. The Delaware-bound senior finished the game with 12 points, 10 rebounds, six steals and six blocked shots in an all-around strong performance.
Sam Brusha’s 14 points led the Ghosts while Kassondra Brown added nine points. Britney James added seven points, seven assists and five steals.
The Ghosts led 12-10 after one quarter and took a 22-11 advantage into halftime. They outscored their hosts in each of the four quarters, but coach Dan Marsh credited coach Frank Sciolla for the strides the Falcons have taken this season.
“You can see them improving,” the Ghosts’ coach said. “The score wasn’t close, but they played hard, and they’ve definitely gotten better.”

Rock North’s defense took over in the second quarter, allowing just five points and 17 over the final three frames. South managed just six field goals after the first quarter.
Margolis led the Indians with 16 points to go along with two steals and two assists. Dana Bandurick added 11 points, five rebounds, three steals, two blocks shots and two assists.
The Indians, who have struggled from the foul line this year, buried 16-of-21 from the charity stripe (76 percent). They were a perfect 6-for-6 in the final quarter.

HARRY S TRUMAN 64, WILLIAM TENNENT 47
The Tigers once again used an inspired third quarter to blow open a close game, outscoring the Panthers 19-6 to turn a six-point halftime lead into a 50-31 advantage en route to the non-league win.
“It’s like we wake up in the second half,” coach Collette Munford said. “Maybe it’s my halftime talks, but we wake up in the second half.
“We jumped out on them and pulled it through.”
Sabria Lytes once again turned in a huge performance for the Tigers, connecting on 10-of-15 shots from the floor and scoring a game-high 22. She also controlled the boards with a game-high 16 rebounds for another double-double. Ten of her rebounds came on the offensive end.
Jayda Campbell also posted a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds – eight on the defensive end. Daeja Moore added 10 points, seven assists and four steals. Alexis McCoy had eight points and five rebounds, and Briana Cliney had seven rebounds to go with three points.
“It’s one game at a time with us,” Munford said. “We’ve still got a lot to learn, but we pulled through.”
Emma Stanfield led the Panthers with 16 points, and Bryn Evans added 13 while Kyla Gibson had 11.
“Our lack of focus and energy to start the third quarter killed us tonight,” Tennent coach Laura Whitney said. “The first half we showed a lot of patience and we handled the press well and were able to attack and get a lot of easy baskets.
“Unfortunately, we didn’t do that to start the third. Instead, we got too soft and careless with the ball and gave up too many easy baskets. When you find yourself down like that, playing in a tough environment, it’s easy to put your head down and give up, but our girls didn’t do that. They just kept playing and fought hard to the end.”
William Tennent (5-10, 0-7 SOL) will host North Penn on Thursday, and Harry S Truman (9-4, 2-4) will be on the road at Upper Moreland for a non-league game Wednesday.
“We were supposed to have four games last week but only had three and we have three games back-to-back this week, so we really don’t have time to practice beforehand,” Munford said. “You just have to reiterate everything you’ve gone over, and just go over the basics – foul shots, layups. For the most part, those two things are hurting us. We’re still winning games, but at some point, we have to get it together with those two things. For the most part, I’m happy.”
