The Lady Warriors took on West Chester Rustin and Gwynedd Mercy Academy this week, losing 59-45 to West Chester Rustin and 58-18 to GMA. This now puts their record at 0-4. Regardless of this record, the young Lady Warriors continue to work hard and learn from these experiences to improve.

Highlights from the Rustin game include junior Abby Arnold scoring 12 points, freshmen Abby Masotta scoring 8 points, Sophmore Olivia Organtini with 7 points, and Junior Jenna Kauffman adding 6 points.

In the GMA game, Jenna Kauffman led the way with 6 points, and Avery Kenney demonstrated strong determination by hustling and never giving up the entire game.

The Junior Varsity Lady Warriors continue on a great path, as they gained 2 wins this week, moving their record to 4-0. Defeating Rustin 34-33, sophomore Olivia Organtini had 12 points, sophomore Lindsay McCann with 9 points, and freshman Abby Masotta with 6 points. Conquering GMA 51-27, sophomore Lindsay McCann scores 14 points, sophomore Sydney Hockenbrock with 8 points, Freshman Abby Masotta with 6 points, and Freshman Sammie Cowan with 5 points. At the JV level, the young girls are playing with energy and excitement, and are very entertaining to watch. They continue on the right path.

The Warrior cheerleaders were back to work preparing for the NCA Regional Championship next weekend. The team is working hard to use the judges' feedback to clean their routine. Several athletes have stepped into new roles to help the team upgrade their pyramid and strengthen their stunt sections. Can't wait to hit the mat again!

This week kicks off the basketball cheering season as well. The team is looking forward to supporting both basketball teams this winter!

Upcoming Events:

Saturday 12/16 - NCA Regional Championship @ East Stroudsburg South HS (AWAY)

Opening up the season at Alvernia University with over 70 schools from throughout the Delaware Valley, the Lady Warriors showed that they will be a force in the PAC this Spring. Senior Summer Mellow led the way, placing 3rd in the Long Jump and anchoring the 4x200 relay to a 3rd place finish. Kenslee O'Donnell, Nicole Walsh and Gabi Dwyer joined Mellow on the relay. Both the Long Jump and the 4x200 Relay qualified for the post-season Meet of Champions with their performance.

The Distance Medley Relay of Kate Thomas, Jillian McTamney, Juliana Trigone and Molly Thomas also had a strong showing, placing 5th in the event. Taking individual 6th place finishes were Sydney Young in the Pole Vault and Carmela Maro in the Triple Jump. Rounding out the top 10 finishes for the meet were Kate Thomas in the open 800M (8th) and Kenslee O'Donnell in the open 400M (9th). The seven top 10 finishes were more than any other school in the meet.

The girls will continue their season next Friday at Lehigh University and Sunday in New York.

Friday 12/15 - Indoor League Meet @ Lehigh (AWAY)

The Methacton Boy's Track team logged another great week of practice last week. Yasser Jarhale, Hezekiah Wright Jones and newcomer Avery Smith all impressed during team time trials!

Also working hard this indoor season are the throws group. Nico Lumbrano and Abel Robles have done an outstanding job of leading the underclassmen over the summer, and have carried that momentum into the winter season.

The entire team will open up winter competition at the Bishop Loughlin Games on 12/16.
