Pennsbury Girls' Basketball Preview

PENNSBURY GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

 

Coach:  Frank Sciolla (6th year)

 

Assistant coaches: Kaitlin Kelly, Logan Klock, Sean Ryan, Jen Sroba

 

Last year’s record:  17-5  (SOL Patriot Champions)

 

Notable losses: Bella Arcuri ( Kutztown Basketball), Abbi Nassivera, Mia Spinelli, Lauren Dignan

 

Key returners:  Nicole Pompili (12/G), Ava Sciolla (12/G), Sofia Vitucci ( 10/G)

 

Others to watch:  Nevaeh Dash (11/G), Layla Matthias (10/F), Danielle Sherman (10/F)

 

Strengths/Question Marks: Team speed and aggressiveness are strengths. This is the first time in many years that all five players on the floor can score from all three levels. The ability to rebound will determine the relative level of success of the team

 

Outlook: “Replacing four starters will be the first order of business, but the return of Nicole Pompili after a season lost to injury is an enormous boost. Overall, team size will be a plus at times in regard to tempo and pace while at the same time a question mark as much of the team is still able to shop at Journeys at the Oxford Valley Mall. Our non-league schedule will immediately test us as we open up with incredibly talented teams in Virginia. After a 2021 season filled with COVID and injuries, our hope is to have a clean ride while enjoying the challenge of our new league setup.”
