Ryan Carter is starting to get the hang of this Philadelphia Catholic League thing.

The Archbishop Wood sophomore, in her first season with the Vikings after playing as an eighth and ninth grader at Penn Charter, knew it would be an adjustment going from the Inter-Ac to the PCL. This week was the guard’s first experience playing against the upper echelon of the league, Wood hosting Lansdale Catholic on Tuesday and then Cardinal O’Hara.

In another competitive game between the perennial league and state title contenders, it was 26 points from Carter that led Wood to a 49-38 win over O’Hara.

“It’s a more competitive game, everyone wants something in the game and everyone wants to win, so it feels more competitive,” Carter said. “I feel like I play better against better teams so it does raise my level of play, but it makes the energy level for the whole team better too.”
