The ceiling seems sky-high for Garnet Valley this season.
A year removed from a surprising postseason run that left them just one win shy of the PIAA Class 6A final, the Jaguars look poised to build on that success Tuesday night.
Senior Haylie Adamski scored 25 points, while fellow senior and defensive ace Savannah Saunders added 11, as the Jags rolled past a rebuilding Springfield squad, 53-21.
Adamski and Saunders did all their scoring in the first three quarters, setting the tone before both teams cleared their benches in the final period.
“I feel like we out-hustled them, got more rebounds and played better defense,” senior point guard Kylie Mulholland said. “It was a good game all around.”
Despite the graduation of standout forward Emily Olsen, the Jaguars have regrouped around a strong senior core led by captains Adamski, Mulholland and Saunders. While the season is still young they’ve shown they’re more than capable of building on last season’s success.
