PENNSBURY GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW
Coach: Frank Sciolla (5th)
Assistant coaches: Jennifer Sroba, Sean Ryan. Logan Klock
Last year’s record: 24-5 - SOL National Co-champions/ District 1 Finalists. Advanced to the Elite 8 of the state before Covid shut it down.
Notable losses: Mary Miller. Nicole Pompili (injury)
Key returners: Bella Arcuri (12/G), Abbi Nassivera (12/G), Mia Spinelli (12/ C), Lauren Dignan (12/C), Ava Sciolla (11/G)
Others to watch: Emily Friel (12/F), Kiley Haws (11/G), Neveah Dash (10/G)
Strengths/Question Marks: “Strengths include an ongoing culture of unselfish play at both ends and a back court that can play at any pace and excels against pressure. An injury suffered during club basketball season to returning All SOL guard Nicole Pompili will keep her out of the season and the ramifications of not all of our players participating due to COVID has certainly shifted the potential arc if not the expectations of our season. We have several very talented freshmen and could potentially start a couple of them. How quickly they progress without the benefit of an offseason program will tell the tale.”
Outlook: “Our goals this year are different. As we are starting our season later than other teams in our division due to School Board policy, we really would just like to play as many games as we can in order to create memories for our team and especially our seniors. We have reached out to everyone in our league and county, and regardless of our own circumstances, we are hopeful to play anyone, anywhere as long as we can get officials and a scorekeeper.”
