COUNCIL ROCK NORTH GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW
Coach: Jim Roynan (3rd year)
Assistant coaches: Jack Kelly (3rd year), Emily Roynan (3rd year)
Last year’s record: 5-5 (SOL Patriot conference), 6-9 overall
Notable losses: None
Key returners: Kristen Polinsky (Sr., G/F), Riley Hamilton (Sr., F), Sofia Shields (Sr., G), Jaden Wan (Jr., F), Kiera Katz (Jr., G), Delaney McCaffery (So., G)
Others to watch: Lizzie Lustig (Jr., G/F)
Strengths/Question Marks: Council Rock North returns its entire team from last year’s COVID-shortened season. The returns of Lizzie Lustig (COVID opt out) and Jaden Wan (injury) bolster a lineup that made significant strides despite the unusual circumstances of last season.
Outlook: “Wan (1st team all-conference) and McCaffery (Honorable Mention) headline a group that has considerable varsity-level experience. Seniors Polinksy, Hamilton, Sofia Shields, and Mara Penner are joined by juniors Katz and Wan for their third seasons of varsity play. Juniors Lustig, Ella Cairone, and Claire Pirkle and sophomores McCaffery and Ruth O’Keeffe return for a second year of varsity play. Freshman Megan Reichenbach will be seeing her first action as a varsity player. A challenging Patriot conference schedule, crossover games with the loaded SOL Colonial Division, and a tough non-league slate will test the team’s progress.”
