This is one of a series of previews for the 2016 Philly lacrosse season
Central Bucks West High School
League: National Conference, SOL
Head Coach: Tara Schmucker, 7 years
Last year’s record: 14-6 overall, (second round of playoffs, co-conference champs)
Key returnees: Jr Bryn Boylan (A), Sr Katie Holt (D), Jr Meghan Darcy (D), Sr Molly Naylor (G), Jr Lauren Devlin (G), So Maddie Maio (M), So Finley Ueland (A)
Coach’s Outlook for 2016: “Our biggest goal this year is playing the full 50 minutes. Although we had a great season, we had some issues giving up leads last year and not playing consistently all game. So playing 110% all game is a focus. We also lost some key starters but our biggest strength and philosophy is that we are not one dimensional and everyone on our team contributes; this year is no different. So we plan to be competitive and fight in every game. Go Bucks!”
