The Garnet Valley playoff magic is back.
Last year, the Jaguars made a run to the Central League championship as the No. 5 seed, then won at Methacton to make it to the state tournament, a stretch that coach Joe Woods admits was “unexpected” after a much-more-expected dominant squad a couple years before.
Though most of the GV rotation is different from last year, with three sophomores in the starting lineup, the Jaguars aren’t done making noise in February. Despite trailing big early at Pennridge, the Garnet girls bore down on defense and found their shot, two of those sophomores leading the way to a 45-42 comeback win.
Kylie Mulholland finished with 16 points, including two fourth-quarter 3-pointers and the game’s final points, a pair of foul shots in the final 30 seconds to help the Jaguars hang on.
