League Record   13-3
Overall Record  19-9

Strengths/Question Marks:  “The Neshaminy 2022-2023 team returns their top three scorers from last year, along with a blend of defense and outside shooting spread throughout the lineup.  Consistent movement/cuts without the basketball showed signs of improvement from last year during the fall season.  On the ball defense will need to improve for the Lady Skins to make a deep run in the district.”

Outlook: “The line between winning and losing within our division will be razor thin with such a balanced division.  Skills such as defense, rebounding, effort, transition and the intangibles great teams cultivate such as encouragement, responsibility, positivity and camaraderie will be the differentiation factors in many games.”
