Bensalem Girls' Basketball Preview

BENSALEM GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Coach: Steve Johnson (3rd year)

Assistant coaches: Elena Toselli, Andrew Candy, Tyra Roberts, Julia Cumminsky, Sheldon Per

Last year’s record: Overall: 12-10 (League 6-10)

Notable losses: Delaney Bell (Arcadia Basketball), Maddie MacDougal, Erin Devlin

Key returners: Amber Howard (Jr. G/F), Kylie Smith (Sr. G) Mackenzie Kramer (Jr. F)

Others to watch: Talia DiMichele (So. G), Devon Bell (So. G), Mikayla Donahue (Jr. G), Sydney McCoy (Jr. G)

Strengths/Question Marks: “The Owls are led by junior frontcourt Amber Howard and Mackenzie Kramer, as well as our senior point guard Kylie Smith who looks to run the offense after missing 80 percent of last year due to a knee injury. We are looking forward to seeing how our sophomores step up this season in absence of the seniors we graduated last year. Question Marks would be our peer-led leadership. We are looking forward to seeing who can fill this void.”

Outlook:  “Last year’s season was a winning season in the record books, but in our eyes not where we wanted to end as we missed the playoffs for the second year in a row. Our goals this year is to compete for the SOL Patriot title and make a playoff run.”
