The chants from the behind the Garnet Valley bench grew louder and louder, “She’s a freshman,” reminding the rest of the Ridley gym that what they were seeing was going to be happening for a few years more.

A few months ago, Haylie Adamski was not as assured where her shot was going each time the ball left her fingertips.
