Greencastle-Antrim Blue Devils

 

Lydia Crist drives to the hoop for Greencastle

 

2016-17 record: 18-5 

 

Key returners: Lydia Crist, Madison Sweitzer

 

Outlook: The Blue Devils will reset a bit after a great 2016-2017 season that saw them go 18-5, win the Mid-Penn Colonial and earn a berth to districts, as they lose their all-time leading scorer Jenny Faulkner, as well as starter Morgan Wagaman.

Greencastle has some pieces in place to replace them, with junior Lydia Crist likely shouldering the scoring load for the team, along with fellow junior Madison Sweitzer. 

 

Coach quote: "We return only 14.4 points from last year's team. So that gives you [an idea] that we've got a lot to make up. There are about 35 shots a game that we've got to find. We basically have six starters, so I would like them to split those shots up among them."- Mike Rhine
