The first time the Greencastle-Antrim and Gettysburg girls basketball teams squared off, there appeared to be a changing of the guard in the Mid Penn Colonial Division.

The Blue Devils (12-0, 7-0 MPC) dominated the Warriors (8-5, 6-1 MPC) 55-41 to beat the three-time defending division champs.

Greencastle has no desire to give up the division lead, or its perfect record, but coach Mike Rhine knows his girls are going to be in for a tough game.

"I expect Gettysburg to come out, fight and get that win back from earlier in the season," he said. "It's going to be a battle."

The Blue Devils' biggest priority will be to stop the Warriors' 1,000-point scorer, Cami Boehner. She scored 22 points in the first meeting with G-A, but Rhine doesn't plan to change a whole lot from their first encounter.

"It's going to be more or less the same as last time. We just need to have the size, speed and awareness to slide over for help defense and try to limit her points," he said. "She has a quick release, a great touch near the basket, and draws a lot of fouls. We have to make her work for everything she gets."

But Greencastle is less worried about Boehner -- she will get her fair share of points -- and is more worried about her surrounding cast.

Rhine said, "For a lot of their younger players, our first game was really their first big game of the year. Now, most of them have carved out a niche in their system and that gives them a lot more dimensions on offense."

But a lot has changed for the Blue Devils since that mid-December game, as well.

In their first meeting with Gettysburg, senior Chloe Hoover led the Blue Devils with a double-double, scoring 23 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Not much has changed in that department -- Hoover still flirts with a double-double on a nightly basis -- but there are a couple players who are poised to break out in a huge way.

Katie Gelsinger has run into a bit of a cold stretch lately on offense, and Rhine sees her playing a key part in the game.

Also, freshman Jenay Faulkner scored just nine points against the Warriors the first time around, but she has been on fire lately, averaging more than 15 points in her last five games.

"Jenay is dialed in," Rhine said. "She does it all for us. She stuffs the stat sheet for us on a nightly basis. I wouldn't be shocked at all if she goes for 25."
