CENTRAL BUCKS EAST GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW
Coach: Liz Potash (10th year)
Assistant coaches: Bridget Birkhead, Ron Chiarolanza, Lisa Garner
Last year’s record: 10-12 overall, 4-6 Colonial League, #22 seed in district playoffs (lost first round to Springford 37-42)
Notable losses: Emily Curran, Elise Duffy (Drexel, soccer)
Key returners: Anna Barry (11/guard), Kendall Gregor (11/guard), Erin LeRay (11/guard), Shayne LeRay (11/guard), Chantal Van Dongeren (11/guard/forward)
Others to watch: Natalie Berndt (9/guard), Jackie Dalby (11/forward), Bella Haurin (12/forward), Sydney Ralph (10/guard), Keira Shea (12/guard)
Strengths/Question Marks: “With the graduation of only two seniors, we return a lot of experience and understanding of what it takes to compete at a high level of play. We have the ability to get out and run on offense. We have to be able to consistently defend for 32 minutes to be able to play with the top teams.”
Outlook: “We have a core group of five seniors that show incredible leadership on and off the floor, in addition to junior guard Anna Barry who continues to improve in all areas of her game. We’re excited to get back to in-season play where we know we’ll be challenged every night. Last year we lost eight games by five or less points and are eager for the opportunity to compete to avenge those tough losses and make the most of those valuable learning lessons. With the addition of some young talent, we are looking forward to the season ahead!”
