SOL Tipoff Tournament
UPPER DUBLIN 47, CENTRAL BUCKS SOUTH 24
There were a lot of new faces on both sides when the SOL foes met in a rematch of last year’s PIAA 6A state title game, but one familiar face – South point guard Alexa Brodie – was the focal point of the defending state champion Cardinals’ defense.
Brodie finished with 14 points, but the rest of a young and inexperienced Titan squad combined for just 10.
“Obviously, the focus was the slow Brodie down – they’re pretty young,” UD coach Morgan Funsten said. “Sarah Eskew and Bliss Brenner kind of split the duty on guarding Brodie all night. They did a great job on her.”
The Flying Cardinals led 11-6 after one quarter and took a 25-9 lead into halftime. They outscored the Titans in each of the four quarters.
“We’ve been pretty banged up with sicknesses and injuries, but everybody was able to play tonight,” Funsten said. “We haven’t had the entire team together since our first scrimmage, so it was nice to see everybody. We didn’t really play like it was the first game of the year.
“I think everybody’s nervous the first night, but we took care of the ball, we shared the ball. It was prettier on our end than the typical first game of the year.”
Kara Grebe led a balanced Cardinal attack with 12 points and seven rebounds. Jackie Vargas added eight points and four rebounds. Anajae Smith had six points and four rebounds, and Meg Barbera led the Cardinals under the backboards with nine rebounds to go along with six assists and two points. Jess Polin had five rebounds and five assists.
“Meg Barbera came off the bench and gave us really good minutes,” Funsten said. “Anajae Smith – these were the first meaningful minutes she played. She’s somebody who’s going to help us big time this year. She has a huge up side.
“The people who have been around for a while were steady as well. I’ve never really felt as good after a first game than I did tonight – just with how smooth things went on our end. I was nervous going in because we have been beat up, but everybody was able to play tonight, and we played well.”
Upper Dublin (1-0) will travel to Central Bucks East for a 2:30 p.m. contest on Saturday, and Central Bucks South (0-1) will take on Neshaminy at Central Bucks East at 1 p.m.

NESHAMINY 58, CENTRAL BUCKS EAST 47
If coach Joe Lally was looking for an impressive start from his veteran squad, the veteran coach got just that. The Redskins – sparked by 10 first-quarter points from Brooke Mullin – opened up an 18-12 lead after one quarter and extended that to 37-22 by halftime. 
Neshaminy led by as many as 23 in the third quarter, but the visiting Patriots came roaring back, trimming that lead to eight. They would get no closer.
“Overall, we have to defend better, but it’s game one,” Lally said. “The kids have been really working hard. They are doing the right things and working hard in practice to become a better defensive team.
“I thought we played good defense at times. We just need to play it consistently for a full game.”
Mullin led all scorers with 16 points. Three players – Emily Tantala, Kristin Curley and Alexis McCoy – added nine points each to the balanced attack. McCoy had six points in the 19-point second quarter.
“We got great minutes from Alexis McCoy, and Emily Tantala had nine points coming off the bench,” Lally said. “We actually went a little smaller for a period with Kristin Curley and Emily Tantala in there together, and it worked really well. Emily is really good defender, a smart kid, and she played really well.
“Brooke (Mullin) was all over the place – getting offensive rebounds, blocking shots. She was everywhere.”
Emily Chmiel and Elyse Shine led a balanced Patriots attack with 10 points each. Skylar Krause had seven points, and Caroline Pla, six points.
Neshaminy (1-0) will face Central Bucks South on Saturday at Central Bucks East (1 p.m.). Central Bucks East (0-1) will host Upper Dublin at 2:30 p.m.

Hatters’ Basketball Tipoff Classic
PENNSBURY 37, NEW HOPE-SOLEBURY 23
Frank Sciolla has a policy when it comes to his team’s schedule.
“I don’t schedule non-league games with my friends – I never have,” the Falcons’ coach said. “I stopped that a while ago because you never really have that feeling of winning, and there’s a sense of empathy for guys or women that are working really hard.”
Sciolla didn’t have any say in who his team would play in Friday’s season-opening tournament, and he found himself matched up against a good friend in New Hope-Solebury coach Andy Krasna.
“In Andy’s case, he knows us really well,” said Sciolla. “There were going to be no surprises. He knew exactly how to defend us. He defended us exactly how I would have, and they play that pace that you really have to be patient on defense because they’ll make you play defense for a minute or more. I thought we were solid there.
“(His team’s) not as talented as they were in previous years, but they are still so smart, and they are still so fundamentally sound that you have to play defense. They were in the game the whole time.”
The Falcons raced out of the gate to a 13-4 lead after one quarter and took a 21-9 lead into halftime.
The game marked the return to the lineup of senior Kate Mix, who tore her ACL in the sixth game of the season last year.
“It was great having her back,” Sciolla said. “The best part about it was that we were able to get her enough game experience in the fall where I didn’t really think about it at all tonight.
“I’m sure that she may have, and there are some things defensively that she wants to feel more comfortable about, but I felt like she looked smooth offensively, and I knew we were going to play her a little bit differently. We had talked about that, and I had told her that I really felt we were going to be able to get her some great looks this year, which we have not been able to do in the past. That was definitely the case tonight, and she knocked them down.”
Mix and Cami Wiegand led a balanced Falcon attack with 10 points each.
“Cami Wiegand had been hurt for most of the fall, and she was back playing tonight,” Sciolla said. “You add all the other people into the mix for their first game – that was good.”
Also for the Falcons, Mary Miller scored six points, and promising freshman guard Ava Sciolla had five points in her debut despite battling foul woes.
“(Coach Krasna) game planned around her, but she was really patient and really created a lot of scoring opportunities for us, really put the ball on a lot of hands for some great shots that we had, and that was good to see” Sciolla said of his daughter

William Tennent Tipoff Tournament
WILLIAM TENNENT 54, CONWELL-EGAN 24
The Panthers wasted little time before seizing control of Friday’s opener. They led 15-5 after one quarter and extended that lead to 28-12 at halftime. A 20-point third quarter sent the Panthers into the final quarter with a 48-18 lead.
Relentless defense and great execution, according to coach Laura Whitney, were the keys to victory.
“I was really pleased with how we played tonight,” Whitney said. “It was a great team win, and everyone contributed in different ways.
“Offensively, I thought we had some great movement and shared the ball really well. Defensively, we were very active and put good pressure on the ball, which resulted in an impressive 17 steals.”
Hannah Reimel led the Panthers with 19 points and four steals. Jenna Rodebaugh added 14 points and two steals while Haley Crossley had 12 points, three rebounds and two steals. Chelsea Meltzer added five points and a team-high six steals.

COUNCIL ROCK NORTH 68, LOWER MERION 33
Dana Bandurick was unstoppable in Friday’s opener. The senior forward scored 12 points in the first quarter and added eight more in the second. By halftime, Bandurick had 20 of her game-high 23 points, and the Indians, who led 23-5 after one quarter, were on top 42-11. Bandurick also had five rebounds, three steals and one blocked shot.
Sparked by Bandurick’s hot hand, the Indians shot 52 percent from the floor while the Aces connected on just 26 percent of their shots. The Indians also capitalized on their opportunities at the foul line, burying 15-of-20 shots.
Sydney Blum also finished in double figures with 14 points, which included three three-pointers. Camryn Polinsky buried a pair of threes and had a team-high seven assists. Olivia Boyle added eight points – all in the second and third quarters – as the team’s four seniors combined for 51 points. Jill Hopkins contributed seven points, and Abby Jones finished with six.

Bristol Tipoff Tournament
UPPER MORELAND 40, ACADEMY OF PALUMBO 29
The Golden Bears found themselves on the short end of a 7-6 score after one quarter but outscored Palumbo 13-6 in the second quarter to go into halftime with a 19-13 lead on their way to the win.
“This game was the definition of a tip-off tournament against a team outside our league,” coach Matt Carroll said. “We knew very little about Palumbo outside of last year’s box scores.
“Our players and assistant coaches knew they had to recognize and react on the fly, and they did a great job doing so. We knew from last year that Bennit was a very effective players and could light up the scoreboard.”
Kaiya Herb was given the task of containing Bennit and not only limited her to three points but contributed eight points and four steals of her own.
“She was responsible for face-guarding Bennit the entire game,” Carroll said. “Her defense led to our overall team success.”
As a team, the Golden Bears had 23 steals, including seven by Bean Hughes. Hughes led the Golden Bears with 16 points even though she was plagued with foul trouble for most of the game.
“Bean will be the first to tell you she should’ve had 30, but going up against Palumbo’s center Nakiyah Green is no easy feat,” Carroll said. “We pride ourselves in our depth and conditioning, and we had nine girls give us nine-plus minutes playing time. They know playing time varies from game to game, and they’re all ready to contribute whenever we ask. It was a great team win, but we know we have to get better.”

5th Annual Wildcat Tipoff Classic
OWEN J ROBERTS 48, COUNCIL ROCK SOUTH 44
The Golden Hawks took a 28-27 lead into halftime, but the Wildcats outscored their visitors 12-6 in the third quarter. The Hawks never could make up the ground they lost.
“Overall, I was very pleased with the effort of our group,” coach Blair Klumpp said. “We aren’t happy coming up short in the final result, but we can take a lot from this game. I felt we really played together as a group for prolonged stretches of this game, which is a goal we have for this year – playing together as a unit. “Three girls in double digits reflects that, and our team defense reflects it. The ‘little things’ the girls did throughout the game – loose balls, charge attempts, extra pass, decision making, positive exchanges with one another, support from the bench- that all reflects what we are trying to establish and working towards. The girls deserve a lot of credit. It wasn’t perfect but it was a good first step.”
Nicole Blaustein’s 17-point effort led the Golden Hawks.
“Nicole Blaustein has taken on a lot this offseason,” Klumpp said. “We changed her role – trying to help her grow into a combo-guard type role. She embraced it and is also working hard to be effective while being efficient.
“My coaches have done a good job working with her, and she has been receptive to playing off the ball. You’re talking about a girl who set the record in school history for points as a freshman, breaking the one held by Alex Wheatley. And we are trying to mold her game offensively into something that is different in many ways from a year ago, and she has bought in. Her shot selection and decision making, particularly early, were very good.”
Hannah Binder added 12 and Carley Irvin had 11. Binder also had seven rebounds and three steals while Irvin had five rebounds, three assists and two steals.
“Carley Irvin played a fantastic floor game for us,” Klumpp said. “Her decision making on when to get us going in transition and pull back in the half court was really, really good. She moved the ball well and plays really smart.
“We had some girls in foul trouble, and that prevented Hannah Binder from having an even bigger night.”
Bailey Vetter led the Hawks on the boards with 11 rebounds to go along with a team-high five assists.
“Bailey Vetter continues to show how she impacts a game in other areas,” Klumpp said. “I want her to be more aggressive offensively, but she led us in rebounds, deflections, and assists while providing a steadying influence leadership-wise.”
The Golden Hawks coach went on to credit Madison Broaddus and Jenna Culp their standout defensive efforts.
“Maddie played the point of our defense very well,” Klumpp said. “Jenna was all over after loose balls and trying to take charges. She has really focused on those things early on.
“Irvin, Broaddus and Vetter stabilized us on defense and made sure we were doing what we prepared to do. Their attention to detail was important throughout the game. Overall, the girls deserve a lot of credit for how well they shared the ball, implemented the things we have been working on and for how hard they competed. I was proud of them tonight. We will look to bounce back tomorrow versus a Cheltenham team that’s physical and aggressive.”

NORTHAMPTON 55, CHELTENHAM 29
The Lady Panthers – who trailed 27-6 at halftime – were doomed by an ice cold shooting performance in a first half that saw them connect on just 10 percent of their shots.
“A slow start and a rough shooting performance made for a rough night,” first-year coach Ben Bowman said. “Shooting a brutal 3-for-30 in the first half put us in a huge hole, but we played hard to the end. Hoping for a better outing tomorrow against CR South.”
Kelia Holmes led the Lady Panthers with 12 points while Kai Williams added 11.

Oreland Lions Tournament
JENKINTOWN 56, SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP 20
Non-league
NORTH PENN 45, PERKIOMEN VALLEY 38
Karley Adams scored 15 points, which included some clutch foul shots down the stretch, to lead the Knights to a hard-fought win in their season opener. Adams not only led the Knights in scoring but also filled in at point guard in the absence of sophomore Alli Lindsay (illness) and provided veteran leadership.
“Not having Alli definitely hurt us because it forced Karley to play point guard and pushed us out of position,” coach Jen Carangi said. “She struggled at times at the point because this was something we sprung on her today after having Alli in all of our preseason games really focusing on her at point.”
The Knights – who led 24-21 at halftime – took a tenuous 32-31 lead into the final quarter.
“The game was back and forth – they had the lead, we had the lead. In the last quarter we managed to pull away – we made some foul shots and rebounded the ball, and that was the difference,” Carangi said.
Adams sank 5-of-6 foul shots in the final quarter and Valerie McGriff also had five points in the quarter, which included a 3-for-4 effort at the charity stripe.
“I was happy with the way we kept our composure in the fourth quarter,” Carangi said. “They were pressuring us, and we managed to stay composed and not throw the ball away. Earlier in the game, we really didn’t do that.”
The Knights’ first-year coach was pleased with the play of her post players.
“Particularly, Rachel Dunn,” Carangi said. “She’s a junior and doesn’t have a lot of varsity experience. She came up with some huge rebounds today.
“A lot of it’s not reflected in the scorebook. She missed some layups, but it’s one of those things where I’m looking at progress – where she started and where she is now, so I was really pleased with how she did.”
Dunn finished with seven rebounds – three on the offensive end. Cayla Sharkey led the Knights with nine rebounds to go along with seven points. McGriff had 11 points and five rebounds.
“Our goal for every game is to keep the other team under 40, and we held them to 38 today, so I was really pleased with that,” Carangi said. “It was a good defensive effort.”

Junior Haley Keenan turned in a glittering 26-point effort to lead the Owls to the no-doubt-about-it win in Friday’s non-league opener. Teammates Kim Kaile and Michaela Sit led the Owls under the backboards with 12 rebounds each. Kaile added 10 points to finish with a double-double.
The Owls set the tone early, opening up a 17-8 first quarter lead. They took a 29-22 lead into the intermission and then outscored their visitors 28-14 in the second half.
“This was a great start for us,” coach Don Bogan said. “We played tough defense and had a good offensive effort.
“We only had seven turnovers while forcing Penn Wood into many mistakes.”
Pennwood-Cyrus added nine points while Chloe Munyon and Dicilio each had eight points.

PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH 48, NORRISTOWN 10
A young Colonial squad had an impressive debut in the first half of a girls/boys doubleheader on Friday, rolling to a rout of their neighboring rival in front of a full house in the school’s brand new gymnasium.
There were a lot of new names in the box score of a squad that lost Miss PA Basketball Taylor O’Brien to graduation, and the Colonials received some impressive performances from their newcomers.
“Freshmen Kate Flanagan, Lainey Allen and Jordyn Thomas shook off first quarter nerves in their first high school game for the Colonials,” coach Dan Dougherty said. “Those three, combined with outstanding defensive efforts of sophomores Anna McTamney, Gabby Cooper, LB McGrorty and Ally Zolty, led to a 24-0 second quarter.
“Seniors Sydney Kesselman and Brooke Felgoise added to the scoring in the second and fourth quarters to help pull away.”
Kesselman led a balanced attack with 11 points while Felgoise added eight. McTamney had seven points, and Flanagan and Allen each had six, for the Colonials who led 8-5 after one quarter but blew the game wide open in the second.
