Winter Season Wrapup: Girls Basketball

Phillip Resnick, Sports Editor • Mar 6, 2012

   After a coaching change and the loss of All-Gazette captain Sarah Howie, there were a lot of question marks entering the 2011-2012 season. Coming off of an 8-14 season, the team had only two seniors on its roster and a number of underclassmen. All of these questions were answered, as the team finished 17-3 and tied for the division title with Churchill.

   “I am sure that the win against Churchill at home will be something that this team will never forget,” said first year head coach Lindsay Zegowitz. “It is exciting to know you are one of the top teams in Montgomery County.”

   The team was ranked sixth in the county by The Gazette last week and has only improved as the season has progressed. Zegowitz attributes the success to the strong leadership of senior captains Samantha Stadnik and Samantha Boyd.

   “We have really good chemistry and we all love each other so it makes leading the team really easy,” said Stadnik.

   The team drew a first round bye and will face the winner of Clarksburg-Kennedy on Monday, Feb. 27.
