North Penn Basketball - Girls Preview (2010-2011)

NORTH PENN GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Head Coach: Maggie deMarteleire (4th year)
 
Last year’s record: 10-4 SOL, 19-10 overall, advanced to the PIAA Tournament
 
Notable losses: Taylour Alston, Shannon Knauer, Dara Nelson, Mary Ward, Kristin Donehower, Gina Silvestri, Michelle Day
 
Key returners: Meg Gallagher (Sr., 5-11, F), Steph Knauer (Jr., 6-0, F/C), Brenda McDermott (Jr., 5-7, Point Guard), Lauren Crisler (Soph., 6-1, G/F)
 
Others to watch:  Emily Hagan (Jr., 5-8, G)
 
Outlook: “Obviously, we want to get off to a good start – we have started 0-3 every year since I have been here. Even though we’re young and not as experienced and don’t have as much depth, we feel we have a very strong core of five. One of our goals would be to win the league and get to the state playoffs. Getting to states last year was a great experience for the kids because they realized how close they came to beating one of the top teams in the state (the Maidens lost at the buzzer to Central Dauphin).”
