Catherine McBride, Deppi, and MacKenzie Pyle also contributed multiple draw controls, fueling the offensive push.

On the defensive end, Addison Kohler put in a gritty performance, battling at X and chasing down ground balls to keep possessions alive.

With Carney’s dominance in the draw circle, a balanced offensive attack, and a strong defensive stand, Council Rock North delivered a well-rounded performance to secure a statement victory in their home opener.
