COUNCIL ROCK NORTH GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Head coach:  Lou Palkovics

Assistant coaches:  Bill Rabberman, Brittney McClain, Staij Jackson

Last year’s record:  20-8 overall, 10-2 SOL National Conference tri-champions

Key returners:  Seniors: Dana Bandurick (committed to Swarthmore), Sydney Blum (The College of New Jersey), Liv Boyle, Cam Polinsky (Dickinson).

Others to watch:  Junior Abby Jones, Sophomores Anna Cairone, Emma Benson, Jill Hopkins

Strengths:  Senior leadership

Question marks:  Depth with only eight varsity players

Outlook:  “Seniors Dana Bandurick, Sydney Blum, Liv Boyle and Cam Polinsky all have the ability to average in double figures. They bring tremendous leadership and chemistry to the program. Dana Bandurick was our second leading scorer and rebounder last year, and she is looking stronger than ever after back-to-back knee surgeries. Junior Abby Jones is a testament to the rewards of hard work. She will play a vital role inside this year. Sophomore Anna Cairone will see significant time along with Emma Benson and Jill Hopkins.”
