The NHS girls basketball team finished their season with a loss against Notre-Dame Green Pond, in the first round of Districts. Their district qualifying game was clinched when they placed second in the BAL, after a 58-40 game against powerhouse Jenkintown. This was the team’s first loss in the BAL in the past few years. Despite their disappointing outcome, the young team does not look back on the season with regrets. Junior starter Zoe Palau said: “It’s impressive how we held our own against some good teams because we are so young.”
The rest of the season was filled with excitement and victories. The Lady Lions’ overall record this year was 16-1, and in their conference, they were 6-1 over the 3 month season.
New Hope taps into their younger players, including starting two freshman, Rachel Saxton and Julia Covino, and one sophomore Sydney Ives. With this young talent, the girls can look forward to a strong team in the next few years, along with using the newly renovated gym which was completed shortly after their season ended. The girls were able to host their home games and celebrate Senior Night, honoring Olivia Keenan and Sarah Wilson, in the UES gym. Olivia Keenan will attend Millersville University studying Early Childhood Education and Special Education in the fall. Lion’s top scorer, Sarah Wilson will be playing basketball on a full ride at Nyack College.
Captains Sarah Wilson and Jordan Sherman reflected proudly on their team stating: “We had a lot of fun this year especially with all the new freshman.”
