NEW HOPE-SOLEBURY GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW
Coach: Steve Polinsky (3rd year)
Assistant coaches: John Turner (1st year), Sara O’Hara (3rd year)
Last year’s record: 16-5. SOL Freedom Division Co-Champions
Notable losses: Rachel Saxton-Playing at Muhlenberg College, Kate Dougherty, J Covino
Key returners: Reagan Chrencik (JR., G/F), Madi Fasti (Sr., G), Emma Ives (Sr., F), Caroline Ives (SO., F), Sammi McAndrew (So., G), Grace Fitzgerald (So., F)
Others to watch: Isabella Elizondo(Fr., G/F), Emily Wilson (Fr,G/F), Ella Dudick (FR,F)
Strengths/Question Marks: New Hope Solebury returns two starters and a reserve from last year’s season. Reagan Chrencik averaged 14 points a game and 10 rebounds last season. Madi Fast started as a junior and played both the shooting guard and point guard position. Madi is a leader on the floor and that should help our varsity inexperienced group. Emma Ives provides incredible leadership and will stabilize the forward position.
Outlook: “Chrencik (1st team all-conference), Fasti and E. Ives headline a group that has varsity-level experience. Freshmen Elizondo, Wilson and Dudick have an opportunity to compete for important varsity minutes as well as sophomores McAndrew, C.Ives and Fitzgerald. We are very excited about our young players and how they will play this year and beyond. A challenging Freedom Division schedule, crossover games with the loaded SOL conference, and a tough non-league slate will test the team’s progress.”
